Science Fiction
The year is 2024. Climate change has altered the world's
wave patterns. Drones crisscross the sky, cars drive
themselves, and surfing is a new Olympic sport. Mafuri
Long, UCSD marine biology grad, champion surfer, and only
female to dominate a record eighty-foot wave, still has
something to prove. Having achieved Internet fame, along
with sponsorship from Google and Nike, she's intent on
winning Olympic gold. But when her father, a clinically
depressed former Navy captain and widower, learns that
his beloved supercarrier, the USS Hillary Rodham Clinton,
is to be sunk, he draws Mafuri into a powerful undertow.
Conflicts compound as Mafuri's personal life comes undone
via social media, and a vicious Aussie competitor levels
bogus doping charges against her. Mafuri forms an
unlikely friendship with an awkward teen, a Ferrari-
driving professional gamer who will prove to be her
support and ballast. Authentic, brutal, and at times
funny, Mafuri lays it all out in a sprightly, hot-wired
voice. From San Diego to Sydney, Key West, and Manila,
That Crazy Perfect Someday goes beyond the sports/surf
cliché to explore the depths of sorrow and hope, yearning
and family bonds, and the bootstrap power of a bold young
woman climbing back into the light.
