From the author of Good Morning, Midnight comes a sweeping story of survival and resilience, following an extraordinary woman's life as she navigates a rapidly changing world. Florida is facing devastation from extreme weather and rising sea levels, with a powerful hurricane approaching a small southeastern town. Kirby Lowe, an electrical line worker, his pregnant wife Frida, and their two sons, Flip and Lucas, brace for the storm. When the boys go missing just before the hurricane strikes, Kirby ventures into the high winds to find them. Alone, Frida goes into premature labor and gives birth to Wanda, named after the storm that heralds a society on the brink of collapse. As Florida continues to deteriorate, Wanda grows from childhood to adulthood, adapting to the changing landscape and the people who remain in a civilization unraveling. She experiences loss, builds community, and seeks adventure, love, and purpose in a world reshaped by nature. Divided into four parts—power, water, light, and time—the narrative reflects the rhythms of the elements and the gradual dissolution of the familiar world, serving as a meditation on the changes we resist and a reminder of the beauty and violence of an untamed wilderness.
