The Shadow Of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clark


With her prolific output of world-wide bestsellers, it is not surprising that New York born Mary Higgins Clark has a long and impressive biography.  Some of her books have been adapted into movies and television programs.  Her very first book, Aspire To The Heavens, was published in 1968 and her latest book, I'll Walk Alone, was recently published in May 2011.  Her daughter and sometimes co-writer, Carol Higgins Clark, and her daughter-in-law, Mary Jane Clark, are also writers.  She lives in Saddle River, New Jersey.  To find out more, go onto the Mary Higgins Clark's website.

The Shadow of your Smile, published in 2010, explores the juxtaposition of medical science and religious faith, and the search of identity by a daughter of a man adopted at birth.  This is an engrossing and terrific read.  I have never known Mary Higgins Clark to fail to capture my attention with her innate gift of storytelling, filled with palpable suspense at every turn of the page every time I pick up her books!

The author tells us what it is about:



This book is displayed from the vantage point of a shelf facing the entrance to the Cambridge Central Library - cannot fail to miss it.
