Noelle and Eli's marriage is on the skids, thanks to a difficult period filled with grief over the murder of their daughter. Now, they're sleeping in separate rooms and each one has secrets that would be devastating if they were brought to light. To make things even worse, Noelle develops amnesia after a severe blow to the head, and the past 25 years of her life have suddenly disappeared. Noelle and Eli must now work together to piece their lives back together, and decide whether or not their marriage is worth saving.
Emma Nelson wants nothing more than to recapture the song of her heart. She feels as though it should've been her and not Kelsey that met the end of a shooter's bullet. Since then, playing the music that she and Kelsey created together just isn't the same anymore. If only she could capture the lyrics, the song that keeps running through her head would be complete. It will take a trip back home to Deep Haven, as well as the help of a special friend, to find what's she's been missing all along.
Once again, Susan May Warren has created a masterpiece of a book wrought with deep emotions and personal struggles. Those suffering through a period of grief or those who have strayed from their first love (both literally and spiritually) can find hope in the pages of this novel. The Shadow of Your Smile is not a book to rush through reading, but rather, one that is worth the time it takes to savor the wisdom contained within. Highly Recommended!

This is a wonderful book! I wasn’t sure at first as I was a little leery of getting into divorce territory BUT as I kept reading I realized that God can and does save marriages. Even ones that a spouse has been unfaithful, one where a spouse is hiding secrets, God can and does work miracles in marriages today. It’s not just marriages though it’s relationships too, He wants to mend relationships between friends, between parents and children, He wants our relationships to show His love.
I was caught up in the lives of the family and the community – seeing the life through their eyes was a wonderful way to get to know and feel involved in this book. I think it also made me think on my marriage and my children – like Noelle I never thought I’d have children but I would have a lucrative career – but I’ve never lost my memory either. She works hard at loving the children that are supposed to be hers but she doesn’t remember. I think this book will have it’s readers looking at their life and re-evaluating.

I really don't read books about forty year old people because I don't think I can really understand them yet. I still don't, but this was a really good book about do-overs...seriously.
