Hearts of Mauna Kea is a book about love, life, and gratitude.
On my first visit to Hawaiʻi’s Big Island, I was introduced to Mauna Kea Beach Resort. Years later, while living on the island during a deeply transformational and reflective period of my life, Mauna Kea became a place of healing. It was there that I experienced profound moments—unexpected meetings, meaningful connections, and quiet inspirations.
This book emerged from those experiences, and from the discovery of more than one hundred heart-shaped rocks found along the shoreline. Photographed throughout the resort’s storied grounds, these natural hearts are paired with prose, quotes, and personal reflections that capture the spirit of the place.
More than a personal story, Hearts of Mauna Kea is intended to reflect a shared experience—one rooted in Hawaiʻi, in love, in life, and in the enduring presence of aloha.
