The Shadow of Your Smile
"I don't have any memory loss—"
Anne flicked on the light to the bathroom.
Noelle stared at the image of the woman in the mirror. Same blue-green eyes, but the skin around them sagged, tiny wrinkle etched into the corners. Her blonde hair was smashed to her head around a bandage, patches in the back shaved off. She took a step closer, her chest tightening. Tiny lines etched her mouth, her lips, and her skin appeared sallow, even sagging. She had jowls.
Noelle ran her hand along her chin, her breath knotting in her chest. She opened her mouth but something like a whimper emerged.
Oh. No.
"Noelle, you had a c-section with Kirby. You…could check that out if you need more confirmation." Anne turned her, took her hands.
Noelle's breaths started to tumble over reach other. No, no—
"It's true. Eli Hueston is your husband. You've been married twenty-four years. And Kirby and Kyle are your sons. You live in Deep Haven."
Deep Haven? She'd visited there with her family a few times, summer vacations. But no, she would never have wanted to live in such a dark and remote place, so far from civilization.
"This can't be true. I…no…I want my parents."
Anne sighed. "They passed away. Your father dies about ten years ago, your mother more recently."
Noelle backed away from her, pressed herself against the cold tile wall of the bathroom. "No...that’s not right." She began to shake, could feel herself loosen on the inside. "This isn’t funny. This is not right. I...I don’t remember any of this." Her voice had begun to pitch high, her breaths shaggy, in and out as she closed her eyes and tried to grab at anything that made sense.
She'd just talked to her dad yesterday. Asked him to go with her to look at a car.
Her mother had promised to make her lasagna if she came home for the weekend.
Noelle wound her arms around herself, slid down to the floor. Opened her eyes, stared at Anne, who crouched before her, her own eyes glossy.
"Please, please don’t tell me that I’ve lost twenty-five years of my life.”

The Shadow of Your Smile
Bestselling author Susan May Warren writes novels of inspirational romance—soul-stirring stories of regular people interacting with a God who loves them. InThe Shadow of Your Smile, Susan writes with wit and wisdom of a marriage gone wrong and a tragedy that could bring redemption and forgiveness to everyone involved.
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 25 years, they’re contemplating divorce just as soon as their youngest son graduates from high school.
Then suddenly, an accident erases part of Noelle’s memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn’t remember her husband 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 Noelle fall in love again with a man she can’t remember—or has erasing the past given them a new chance for a future?
