Leilani "Lani" Mahelona is just a seventeen year old girl from Hawaii. She lives with her mom and twin brother. Her best friend practically lives next door, and the beach is her backyard, so, naturally, surfing is her passion.
One day when Leilani is out surfing, a wave comes out of nowhere and knocks her off her board. When she wakes up she is in a hospital bed, and some guy is kissing her.
Now, she has powers she can't explain that get her in loads of trouble, and everyone thinks she's a lunatic. But when that same guy shows up asking for help and telling her she's the key to saving the world, Leilani has no choice but to help. Before she knows it, she's on this crazy journey in this world she never even knew existed, facing things she never dreamed she'd face again.

She excels in every field she steps her foot into, be it from her perfect grades to being the best daughter a parent could ask for, you name it. Her tenderness is what attracts every guy's attention.

Everything Has Changed
"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you. With the way you move, and the feeling of your arms around me. With the feeling of your chest vibrating as you laugh. Heartbreak is falling in love with everything about you, but having the words permanently stuck in my throat." _____ Gracelyn Levinsky grew up with Daniel Grey.
