The Summer of Songbirds

In this poignant new book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil and the Peachtree Bluff trilogy, four women band together to defend the summer camp that transformed their lives and, in the process, find themselves.

Following a personal tragedy over thirty years before, June Moore purchased Camp Holly Springs and transformed it into a profitable summer retreat for girls. However, June is now in risk of losing the place she has given everything up for and she starts to see how much she has relied on the camp to help her escape dealing with life's challenges.

During a tragic summer at camp, June's niece Daphne got to know her two closest friends, Lanier and Mary Stuart. Even though they are in their thirties, the three of them remain inseparable because they have supported one another through difficult times, including sorrow, bereavement, drug addiction, and unintended pregnancies. But lawyer Daphne is forced to make a difficult decision when she is confronted with a romance from her past and a private matter at work becomes personal.

Lanier, meantime, is having difficulty making some difficult choices of her own. She is divided between the commitments she made to her first love and her fiancé after running into an old sweetheart. She also finds herself at odds with her closest friend and runs the danger of losing the person she loves the most when a significant secret comes to light.

But nothing matters more to these songbirds than Camp Holly Springs, regardless of their personal issues. The ladies get together to defend their childhood haven, which puts them on a trip that will hopefully lead to the opening of new chapters in their life, when they discover it is about to close.
