More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:
New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt coastal novel set in Carolina. In this warm, character-driven story, a burned-out NICU nurse named Daisy Stevens seeks a fresh start in Cape Carolina, where a surprising discovery brings her into the life of local coach Mason Thaysden and his quirky, lovable family.
After a difficult day at work, Daisy arrives in Cape Carolina hoping for a slower pace and a chance to heal. On her first day on the job, a high school baseball coach, Mason, finds an abandoned baby—an event that quickly becomes the catalyst for change in this close-knit town. As Daisy and Mason navigate their shared concern for the child, they grow close while uncovering hidden pasts and coping with old wounds.
Mason is still coming to terms with an injury that derailed his baseball career. Rooted in his hometown and wrestling with what might have been, he finds unexpected motivation in the arrival of Daisy and the child they care for together. The novel follows their evolving relationships, including the colorful presence of Aunt Tilley, who faces her own need for redemption and a fresh start.
As feelings deepen and loyalties are tested, a startling discovery threatens to upend the town. Through personal struggles and community bonds, the characters learn that love, understanding, and a little theatrical whimsy can guide them to where they truly belong. This story offers a gentle, uplifting read—a beach-perfect escape that balances heart, humor, and the restorative power of community.
