These interactions are often deeply emotional and can be profoundly healing, offering participants a rare experience of unconditional paternal support.

If your ideal summer read involves friendship, second chances, family secrets, and a touch of seaside charm, you won't want to miss a special Summer Reads Author event at the Coronado Public Library on Tuesday, April 12 at 7 p.m. The event brings together New York Times bestselling author Kristy Woodson Harvey, USA Today bestselling novelist Meg Donohue, and special guest Kate Luckinbill, offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from the voices behind some of this season’s most talked-about titles. The three authors will explore their latest works: Harvey’s "Summer State of Mind," Donohue’s "The Memory Gardener," and "A Book" by Desi Arnaz, newly expanded with contributions from Luckinbill, granddaughter of the legendary entertainer. Together, the three will share the inspiration behind their work, the themes that shape their storytelling, and the creative journeys that brought these books to life. For readers who gravitate toward uplifting yet layered fiction, Harvey’s newest novel promises a perfect escape. Known for her “elevated beach reads,” she weaves stories of love, community, and rediscovery—often set against warm, inviting backdrops. Donohue, beloved for her emotionally resonant and often cozy storytelling, brings a different but complementary tone, exploring memory, healing, and the quiet magic found in everyday life. Meanwhile, Luckinbill offers a deeply personal perspective, sharing family history and new insights into the life of Desi Arnaz. A book signing will follow this talk.
