When Ruth Alder arrives in the small town of Jamesport, Maine, she isn’t looking for company. She’s not even looking for peace.

And something in the sand below the bluff refuses to stay buried.

There are houses we forget. And then there are houses that we remember too much. The Ridge House stood at the edge of town like a wound that never closed—quiet, overgrown, and older than any map would admit. It was the kind of place people passed without speaking its name, where windows fogged from the inside and doors creaked even when still. Children were warned away. Adults made jokes they didn’t mean. And somewhere inside its walls, time moved sideways. Now, no one lives here. He hadn’t planned to return.

Beneath the cliffs and pines, under tides that move with purpose, lies a beach that should not exist. It is not marked on any map. It does not appear in any satellite image. It returns only when it is remembered. And now, it has returned.

Some words were never meant to be spoken. Some letters were written but never sent, folded away in the quiet corners of time. Still, they linger. In the hush before dawn, in the spaces between footsteps, in the salt-laced wind that moves through empty rooms. This book is not a collection of answers, nor a search for closure. It is a meditation on what remains—on the echoes of voices we can no longer hear, on the weight of things left behind, on the way absence shapes us as much as presence does.
