Surfer Gaby Loe drives to Secret Beach in Kauai to ride the waves before sunrise. The waves are unusually high and Gaby is sucked under. Fighting his way to the surface, he makes his way to shore. He soon becomes aware that all his things are gone, including his beloved dog Ginger. Walking towards home, Gaby is stopped by a policeman who takes Gaby to the station. There, Gaby learns that not only is his car and dog missing but twelve years of his life.

Hanalei Moon exhibits the dark side of greedy people. On his return, Gaby discovers that he must confront the trauma of missing twelve years of his life and substantiate that he is alive; he also must meet head-on the treachery of his boyfriend during his absence. The gifted A. J. Llewellyn creates a love-hate relationship, giving substance to the love is blind anthology when we choose not to examine our feelings. Gaby was given a second chance to correct his poor decisions in this intriguing saga and finds true love twelve years later under the Hanalei Moon. I enjoyed this impressive story and still contemplate the mysteries surrounding Gaby’s nonexistence.
