Then, out of nowhere, she sees her openingâwhen her best friend convinces her mother to drive them to Malibu Beach, Carmie's tired, sad, and oh-so-old mom grabs a surfboard and impresses even the locals! That's when Carmie learns that her mom had a secret life before Carmieâa life where she was a Malibu surfer. Carmie knows that she was meant to learn this. That she and her mom were meant to move to Malibu and form a surfing dynasty with some of the surf legends her mom used to hang out with. In her movie notebook, Carmie writes herself a starring role as a glamorous, gorgeous surf star. But not everything is as easy as it is in the movies, and Carmie learns that her mom is a much more complicated and wonderful person than she ever knew.
