When a winter storm tears open the old causeway at Santo Amaro Marsh, Clara Duarte returns to the coastal town she has spent most of her adult life avoiding. She has come as a consultant, hired to assess a damaged retaining wall before the next tide and the next storm make things worse. But the marsh has exposed more than broken stone. Quietly devastating and emotionally exact, The Storm Line is a story of memory, family, and the truths landscapes keep long after people decide what they can bear to know.
