The shadow of your smile : a Deep Haven novel

 by Susan May Warren.  Quiet yet powerful, like a blizzard in Deep Haven, Minnesota, Warren's latest inspirational novel is a story of hidden pain. When daughter Kelsey is murdered, the Hueston family breaks. Suffering is all they know until an accident causes Noelle to lose her memory. As her husband, Eli, and sons Kirby and Kyle help her rebuild her life, she gets reacquainted with her family and reclaims her past passions and youthful joy. Eli soon confronts his own coping methods, which involve another woman, Lee Nelson, whose husband was killed the same day as Kelsey. Emma Nelson was Kelsey's best friend. They dreamed of making music together, but Emma's songs now feel incomplete. A chance encounter with Kyle spurs Emma and him to believe their fates might not already be sealed. Like the spring thaw, Warren's novel is cold and hard at the outset, but as the story unfolds, characters with frozen hearts begin to revive. At the end, hope is in full bloom. --Booklist (Check Catalog)
