More About SUMMER STATE OF MIND:

“Queen of the beach read,” — Cosmopolitan. New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey returns with a heartfelt coastal escape in Summer State of Mind.

After the most difficult day of her nursing career, Daisy Stevens, a burned-out NICU nurse, flees to Cape Carolina, North Carolina, seeking a quieter life and the possibility of new beginnings. On her first day at a simpler job, a local high school baseball coach discovers an abandoned baby, and the discovery ripples through the small, tightly knit community.

Mason Thaysden, the coach, is coping with the lingering effects of an injury that ended his professional aspirations. Stuck in his hometown, he wonders whether staying is the right choice. As Daisy and Mason form a bond while caring for the found child, they each confront past hurts and consider what family, forgiveness, and community can mean in a fresh start.

A colorful cast of supporting characters, including Mason’s eccentric Aunt Tilley, brings humor and heart to the story as old secrets surface and new connections form. When a startling revelation threatens to divide the town, Daisy, Mason, and Tilley find themselves at the center of events that will test their resilience and ultimately reveal where they belong.

Kristy Woodson Harvey’s novel blends romance, community drama, and small-town charm into an uplifting beach read that celebrates second chances and the power of belonging.
