佛罗里达州正在滑落。随着毁灭性的天气模式和不断上升的海平面逐渐对该州的基础设施造成破坏，一场强大的飓风向东南海岸的一个小镇逼近。电线工人科比-洛、他怀孕的妻子弗丽达和他们的两个儿子弗利普和卢卡斯为最坏的情况做准备。当孩子们在飓风来临前失踪时，科比冒着大风去寻找他们。独自一人的弗丽达进入早产期，生下了一个不寻常的孩子–旺达，她以这场灾难性的风暴命名，将她带入一个比以往任何时候都更接近崩溃的社会。
随着佛罗里达州的不断解体，万达也在不断成长。旺达从童年走向成年，不仅适应了不断变化的风景，而且适应了留在这个被文明抛弃的地方的人们，她失去了家庭，获得了社区，最终在这个被自然重塑的地方寻求冒险、爱和目的。
本书分为四个部分–电力、水、光和时间，反映了元素的节奏，以及我们所知道的世界有时快速、有时缓慢的解体。它是对我们不愿看到的变化、我们不愿迎接的未来的沉思，也是对不可驯服的荒野的美丽和暴力的召唤。
Florida is slipping away. As devastating weather patterns and rising sea levels gradually wreak havoc on the state’s infrastructure, a powerful hurricane approaches a small town on the southeastern coast. Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker; 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 to search for them. 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, adapting not only to the changing landscape, but also to the people who stayed behind in a place abandoned by civilization, Wanda loses family, gains community, and ultimately, seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a place remade by nature.
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.
