“The Shadow of Your Smile” is one of those novels that pulled me in and kept me reading. Noelle and Eli have been married for years, but after the tragic death of their daughter, they have stayed together, but they haven’t lived. So much history stirs the characters’ choices until a marriage is almost ruined.
And what happens when Noelle is injured and can’t remember Eli? The opportunity for a new romance in a mid-life marriage doesn’t proceed smoothly. But this isn’t the only story or romance. Others are intertwined in a way that reinforces Noelle and Eli’s journey. Are we willing to risk after we’ve been hurt? Are we willing to trust others or will we retreat into the safety but lifelessness of our inner hearts. It’s the kind of book that engaged my emotions and never let go.
This is a great addition to the Deep Haven series, but stands completely on its own… though it did make me want to track down more novels in the series.

More about the novel….
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.
After twenty-five years, they’re contemplating divorce . . . just as soon as their youngest son graduates from high school. But then an accident erases part of Noelle’s memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn’t remember Eli, their children, or the tragedy that has ripped their family apart. What’s more, Noelle is shocked that her life has turned out nothing like she dreamed it would. As she tries to regain her memory and slowly steps into her role as a wife and mother, Eli helps her readjust to daily life with sometimes-hilarious, sometimes-heartwarming results. But can she fall in love again with a man she can’t remember?
Will their secrets destroy them . . . or has erasing the past given them a chance for a future? Read the story behind the story here:http://www.susanmaywarren.com/books/the-shadow-of-your-smile.

I would like to read, “The Shadow of Your Smile.” I have not read the Deep Haven series. I have been wondering if this family was mentioned in previous novels in the series? Do they have friends to help them in their growth together?
