Mary Kay Andrews returns to "Bookreporter Talks To" to discuss her latest book, SUMMERS AT THE SAINT, with Carol Fitzgerald. She talks about the resort that she modeled The Saint after and how she conducted research there while spending time with a friend. She also touches on the many storylines that are woven so well into this Bookreporter Bets On selection and points out that the novel originally had a different beginning. It is said that "summer begins with MKA," and Mary Kay explains exactly why this book deserves that moniker and to be read wherever readers are this summer.
