Reflections of Love & Gratitude
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.
"If something inside of you is real, we will probably find it interesting, and it will probably be universal. So you must risk placing real emotion at the center of your work. Write straight into the emotional center of things."

What Readers Are Saying
This is the only book I have ever seen that has made the real true connection between reality and the magic of the Mauna Kea. It's such a special place that deserves to be appreciated in this way.
This is my 38th year coming to the Mauna Kea and after reading this book it seems to be an ideal gift to every single guest upon check in because it captures the uniqueness and essence of this beautiful property.
I think those who have returned to the Mauna Kea would appreciate giving and receiving this gift.
