About the book: The Shadow of Your Smile
A beautiful blanket of snow may cover the quaint town of Deep Haven each winter, but it can’t quite hide the wreckage of Noelle and Eli Hueston’s marriage.
MY REVIEW:
The Shadow of Your Smile is the 6th book in the Deep Haven Series. If your like me, and haven’t read any of the Deep Haven Series, that ok. It’s not necessary to read the first books to enjoy The Shadow of Your Smile. Of course, now I want to read them!
In The Shadow of Your Smile, Noelle and her husband of 25 years, Eli, are close to divorce. They have been through so much together, including the death of their daughter. As the result of a fall, Noelle loses her memory. She remembers some of college, but nothing of her marriage, her sons or her daughter who died.
It is hard to imagine what it would be like to just all of a sudden remember nothing of your husband, children, and your lives together. Even living in the same house as before, you remember nothing. Even when viewing pictures of your family, you remember nothing.
It is hard to imagine the pain a family goes through when a loved one doesn’t remember them. How would you feel if your spouse couldn’t remember anything about you? What if your mother couldn’t remember anything about you?
You will see, and feel, all the depths of these emotions in The Shadow of Your Smile.

Thank you for your excellent review. I can relate, with my mother dying when I was five. Looking at photos I had no memory. What I did have was memorized nursery rhymes and stories from the retelling so many times I am sure, songs that I remember the words to from before my era (my father played the piano). Trauma. My granddaughter just turned six. Would she forget? I cherish the times I have with her.
