The Woman Who Walked the Marsh is Book 5 of The Legacy of the Bay, a twelve-book series of faith-centered literary fiction set on Florida's Gulf Coast.

Port Harmony has voted to let developers build on the marsh. But what no institution certified, one woman already knew.

The morning after the vote, Rosa Medina walks the marsh at dawn—as she has every morning for thirty-five years—reading the ground with her feet and hands. No university granted her knowledge, and no agency authorized it. She simply showed up, every tide, year after year.

The official studies say the ground will hold. Rosa has measured the creek narrowing inch by inch, and she knows it will not.

With Jack Dalton, a boy and his ledger, and a record no institution will recognize, Rosa sets out to make the marsh's testimony count—before the first piling goes in.

"The walking was the credential."

This fifth novel in The Legacy of the Bay continues Don D. Brown's Gulf Coast family saga of faith, family, and stewardship.
