The Shore

Some storms come from the sea. The worst ones come from within.

On a lonely stretch of the Maine coast, Elias stands at the edge of a life he no longer recognizes. The night a winter storm tore through the coast, the ocean took the person he loved most, and left him with questions he has never dared to ask.

Now the house is too quiet and the sea is too loud. The only voice that seems to reach him belongs to a weathered old man who sits by the water with his pipe, speaking as though he knows things he shouldn't. About storms. About survival. About the strange distance between losing yourself and finding your way home.

As memory and the present begin to blur, Elias is drawn deeper into the questions he has spent a lifetime avoiding.

What do we carry with us? What do we leave behind? And when the storm finally comes for us, what does it mean to save ourselves?

THE SHORE is a haunting story of love, memory, survival, and the mysterious places that exist between who we were and who we may still become.

Born from Matt McClure's song "The Shore," which reached listeners around the world, and featuring a foreword by David Grand, PhD, developer of Brainspotting, this is a novel about the waters only we can enter, and the courage it takes to step in.

Please note: this novel explores grief, trauma, and thoughts of not wanting to go on.
