Storm of Infinite Beauty

A Storm of Infinite Beauty follows Gwen Hollingsworth, curator of a museum dedicated to Scarlett Fontaine — a Hollywood legend who died at thirty-six leaving, the world believed, no children. Gwen is Scarlett's sole heir and distant descendant, and her own life is unraveling through a painful marital separation when biographer and photojournalist Peter Miller arrives with a claim that could upend everything the museum stands for: that Scarlett lived a hidden year in exile in Alaska and secretly gave birth to a child.

Gwen and Peter travel to Alaska together to trace what really happened, uncovering a story that unfolds against the stark, unforgiving landscape leading up to a historic Alaskan earthquake. Told across two timelines — the past that shaped Scarlett's disappearance and the present in which Gwen tries to make sense of her own inheritance — the novel is about the secrets families keep and the cost of unearthing them.
