When We Meet Again
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Emily Emerson is used to being alone; her dad walked out on the family when she was a just a kid, her mom died when she was eighteen, and her beloved grandmother has just passed away as well. But when she's laid off from her reporting job, she finds herself completely adrift...until the day she receives a beautiful painting of a young woman standing at the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky. She recognizes the woman as her grandmother, but the painting arrived with no identification other than a handwritten note saying, "He never stopped loving her..."
Curious, Emily begins to do some digging and uncovers a fascinating moment in American history. Her trail leads her to the POW internment camps of 1940s Florida, where German prisoners worked for American farmers...and sometimes fell in love with American women. But how does this all connect to the painting? The answer to that question will take Emily on a road that leads from the sweltering Everglades to Munich, Germany and back before she's done.
This new edition has been refreshed by the author and contains a new author's note, along with a teaser of Harmel's next historical novel.

- From New York Times bestselling author Kristin Harmel, a beautifully repackaged and updated edition of "one of her best" (RT Book Reviews) historical novels.
Emily Emerson is used to being alone; her dad walked out on the family when she was a just a kid, her mom died when she was eighteen, and her beloved grandmother has just passed away as well. But when she's laid off from her reporting job, she finds herself completely adrift...until the day she receives a beautiful painting of a young woman standing at the edge of a sugarcane field under a violet sky. She recognizes the woman as her grandmother, but the painting arrived with no identification other than a handwritten note saying, "He never stopped loving her..."
Curious, Emily begins to do some digging and uncovers a fascinating moment in American history. Her trail leads her to the POW internment camps of 1940s Florida, where German prisoners worked for American farmers...and sometimes fell in love with American women. But how does this all connect to the painting? The answer to that question will take Emily on a road that leads from the sweltering Everglades to Munich, Germany and back before she's done.

Harmel (The Life Intended, 2014, etc.) returns with a family drama that spans generations. Freelance writer Emily Emerson loses her paycheck and dignity when her relationship column folds unexpectedly. Her time wallowing in self-pity is cut short when a surprise package arrives from Germany. Inside is a painting of a woman Emily recognizes as her late grandmother, only she doesn't know who sent the package or what it means, as the accompanying note simply states, "Your grandfather never stopped loving her." Determined to find out more about the painting and her broken family history, Emily sets out on a sleuthing adventure that reveals dark secrets and painful truths. While she investigates the family's hidden history, Emily must face her own murky past and confront what she's kept hidden from others for years. The narrative alternates between Emily's present day and revelations from the past. Harmel skillfully weaves among points of view and timelines, building tension and mystery along the way. Emily is a no-nonsense character with immense likability. She has an elevated sense of protecting her own privacy but has no reservation about digging into others' flawed histories. Harmel has crafted an endearing narrator with a complex past who simply wants to live an uncomplicated life. Sorting out the family mystery requires Emily to rekindle a relationship with her father, which has its rewards and challenges. Their dynamic provides insight into present and past family matters while interjecting humor and tension that honor father-daughter relationships. Equally compelling is the rich family storyline that traverses generations and geographic locales as Emily uncovers connections between her family and Florida's POW internment camps. Harmel, an Orlando resident with an eye for detail, authentically weaves American history into this engaging novel. An appealing family saga that connects generations and reaffirms love.COPYRIGHT(2016) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Emily Emerson thinks abandonment runs in her blood. Her grandmother raised Emily's father alone; he left Emily and her mother, and after her mother's death, Emily gave up a baby for adoption and never spoke to the father, her first love, again. Then she receives a mysterious painting of her grandmother as a young woman, accompanied by a note stating that her grandfather never stopped loving his wife. Emily discovers that her grandfather was a German prisoner of war who was held in Florida, where he met Emily's grandmother. The end of the war and the intervention of their families kept them apart for the rest of their lives. Emily's investigation brings her to Munich and into the Atlanta art scene and forces her to confront her past and enact some affecting reunions. Harmel, author of The Life Intended (2014), presents a touching and surprising novel about family legacies.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
