Blurb: ”A STORY OF SURVIVAL AND RESILIENCE, SPANNING ONE WOMAN'S LIFETIME AS SHE NAVIGATES THE UNCERTAINTY, BRUTALITY, AND ARRESTING BEAUTY OF A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD.
Florida as we know it is slipping away. As devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels wreak gradual havoc on the state's infrastructure, a powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast. Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker for the local utility municipality, his pregnant wife, Frida, and their two sons, Flip and Lucas, prepare for the worst.
When the boys go missing just before the hurricane hits, Kirby heads out into the high winds in search of his children. Left alone, Frida goes into premature labor and gives birth to an unusual child, Wanda, whom she names after the catastrophic storm that ushers her into a society closer to collapse than ever before.
As Florida continues to unravel, Wanda grows. Moving from childhood to adulthood, she adapts not only to the changing land-scape, but also to the people who stayed behind. In this town abandoned by civilization and remade by nature, Wanda loses family, finds community, and comes to terms with a mysterious purpose that has been whispering to her for all these years.
Told in four parts-power, water, light, and time- The Light Pirate mirrors the rhythms of the elements and the sometimes quick, sometimes slow dissolution of the world as we know it. It is a meditation on the changes we would rather not see, the future we would rather not greet, and a call back to the beauty and violence of an untamable wilderness.”
