"Flashes of coffee. And a car."
"You were brought here unconscious with head trauma two days ago." How was that even possible? Kelsey Worthington struggled to remember . . . she had been exiting a New York City Starbucks with coffee for her boss when . . . it had happened. A car, careening onto the curb and miraculously Kelsey survived to tell the story . . . the glaring question was to whom? The second person in the room, legendary cosmetic mogul Georgina Tate wasn't at all interested in listening. So there they were, two enterprising women with nary a visitor between them.
That chance meeting was the catalyst for an awakening of sorts, an always working assistant editor still failing to live up to her dreams and a woman who had seemingly accomplished all of hers, but at what cost . . . inspiring Kelsey to force her way through Georgina's crusty exterior with a radical idea! It was time for the "summer of yes"!
From visiting a zoo, to eating junk food, to taking off on a road trip, this ingenious story digs deep into moving past fear and regret to make room for the wide open spaces of restoration and splendid possibilities, especially for Georgina whose kidney disease is slowly sapping away her second chances, whereas Kelsey is suddenly blindsided with an entirely new challenge . . . freeing up her heart.
The word "yes" has been highly underrated. "Hope is never a bad thing".

BackCover Blurb:
Sometimes you’re so busy writing other people’s stories that you lose the plot of your own.
This wasn’t how Kelsey Worthington’s day was supposed to go. She wasn’t supposed to be picking up Starbucks for her smarmy boss. She wasn’t supposed to get hit by a car that jumped the curb. And she certainly wasn’t supposed to wake up in a hospital room next to Georgina Tate—the legendary matriarch of New York City businesswomen.
Kelsey and Georgina couldn’t be more opposite. Kelsey’s a dreamer, a writer who questions her own skill. And Georgina is a confident businesswoman whose years of shouldering her way into boardrooms and making her voice heard have made her far too outspoken for the faint of heart.
But now, when Georgina’s failing kidneys force her to face some big regrets about the way she’s lived her life, the two women recognize they share a common thread. Maybe it’s time to confront a few things. They must ask themselves: What if I said yes to everything I’ve always said no to?
With Georgina as her companion, Kelsey soon finds herself doing things she’s never done before. Eating street food. Swimming in the ocean. Matchmaking for Georgina with the help of Georgina’s handsome son. And writing her own romance—both in book form and in real life.
So begins the Summer of Yes.
