{Barbour Blog Tour} The Inn at Hidden Run (Tree of Life) by Olivia Newport

Book Description:  Meri’s family has been producing doctors for so many generations that no one remembers why, so when she flunks out of medical school, she runs as far from her parents as she can get. In the small mountain town of Canyon Mines, Colorado, she takes a job at the Inn at Hidden Run B&B. And waits. It’s only a matter of time.
What she doesn’t count on is genealogist Jillian Parisi-Duffy and her father, Nolan, having her back when it takes everything she has not to bolt again but to stay and face the truth that only unfolding her family’s history will reveal. While Nolan works on keeping Meri calm—and in town—Jillian pulls out of her gems of information she doesn’t know she has and arranges the puzzle pieces.

My Thoughts:  This is such an interesting story.  And since Olivia Newport is a new to me author her style of writing easily engaged me in the story of Meri and her family.
This is the first book in the Tree of Life series.  And it sets the tone for the other books to come.
There are two time periods and the secrets of the family.
Of course, the small town of Canyon Mines, Colorado was interesting because I love Colorado and learning about this beautiful state.
Learning about family trees and how to track down genealogy was fascinating to me since I have a friend who does this type of work.  
The story itself is good but the author does go back and forth quite a bit between the two time periods.  Mostly for information on family tree items, I think.
The story is all about family and faith on God.
