“I wrote this story based on an experience I had in Hawaii and it got picked up at Hallmark,” he explains. “I couldn’t wait to be part of it,” he continues.

Shawn was thrilled that the network decided to keep wonderful moments he wrote into the script. “There is a great romance with the younger kids,” he says referring Emeraude Toubia and Tom Maden who star as Alana and Kai.
