Jillian, a genealogist, is fascinated by family treasures that tell
stories. She has a trunk that belonged to her mother whose secrets
she has been unsuccessful in probing. Nolan, her father and a legal
mediator, is contacted by a museum about a trunk they have in their
collection, When she sees it, Jillian is itching to find it’s
story. The trunk was left at Union station over a hundred years ago
and still contains the wardrobe and personal articles of the woman it
belonged to.
In a parallel story
taking place in the 1900s, Lynelle Bendeure, travels from the East on
a mission from her father. She’s the owner of the trunk. It’s her
story that Jillian tries to unravel. Is it possible that she was the
victim of a crime and someone stole her identity?
This is the third
book in which Jillian and her father solve a mystery involving
genealogy. It’s filled with fascinating information about genealogy
research. In this book, there is also a great deal about the cooking
Nolan loves to do.
Lynelle’s story is
well researched with lots of historical information about train
travel in the early 1900s. The two stories meshed nicely with plenty
of twists on the way to solving the mystery. Both Lynelle and Jillian
are strong, determined women. In this book we learn more about
Jillian and Nolan’s family and there is even a hint of romance.
I received this book
from Barbour Publishing for this review.
