Summer State of Mind by NYT Bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey - Classic Southern home

My 13th novel SUMMER STATE OF MIND releases May 5, 2026. I’m excited to share this new story with readers—preorder copies are available now.

More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:

“Queen of the beach read,” (Cosmopolitan) New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt escape to coastal Carolina.

After a devastating day at work, NICU nurse Daisy Stevens flees to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, seeking a fresh start. On her first day in town, high school baseball coach Mason Thaysden finds an abandoned baby, which quickly unites the community—and draws Daisy and Mason into an unexpected connection.

Mason is coping with injuries that kept him from a professional career and is unsure whether to stay in his hometown. As Daisy settles in, she becomes attached to the child and begins to confront her own past. Mason’s eccentric Aunt Tilley adds warmth and humor as she seeks her own new beginning.

When a surprising revelation threatens the fabric of Cape Carolina, Daisy, Mason, and Tilley find themselves at the heart of the conflict. This tender novel explores how community, compassion, and unexpected events can guide us to where we belong—sometimes in ways we never anticipated.
