Hello everyone! We are so happy and excited to announce the tour for Cope Field by TL Simpson. We have limited physical copies available for US residents and digital copies (Netgalley) for anyone in the US, Canada or International.


Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Publishing date: April 22, 2025
Synopsis:
Crawford “Craw” Cope has anger issues. Or so they say.
When Craw is sentenced to community service for hitting his father in the head with a baseball bat, he accepts his punishment without objection, knowing he’s actually lucky. If he weren’t the son of a famous former baseball player, he’d probably have gotten it a lot worse. So, Craw keeps his mouth shut and takes what life gives him. Like always.
But when he arrives at community service, which frustratingly turns out to be repairing a dilapidated ball field to be named after his father, he meets Hannah Flores, a punk rock enthusiast trapped in the Ozarks with zero filter. As Craw navigates his own explosive home life, he learns more about hers. And as their friendship blossoms into something more, he begins to understand the importance of speaking his truth, even when doing so might destroy the only life he’s ever known.
Content Warning: trauma, addiction, abuse, descriptions of drug use
