Where Stories Lie Buried — Coming Soon
Where Stories Lie Buried – A Memoir of a Genealogist Turned Author
Coming September 2026 – PRE-ORDER NOW
Behind every family tree is a story.
Behind every story is a voice that brought it to light.
From the shores of New Zealand, Vicky Adin pens her most personal story yet. Part memoir, part craft narrative, part family history, she shares her journey from a curious young amateur genealogist to an author inspired to bring the past to life.
She explores how life events changed her path, why family connection became so ingrained, and what she learnt along the way. To her surprise, delving into the lives of people of the past — women especially – resulted in ten published novels. The deeper she searched, the more she wanted to write, to share a story, to make sure it is never lost.
“The relationships of ordinary people, experiencing real joy and heartache, of loss and personal growth, satisfied me most. That is what inspires me.”
For genealogists, emerging authors, and readers who have ever wondered what lies buried in their own family’s past.

This is a book I wish I had read ten years ago. Adin has all the answers I was looking for when I struggled through research.
