MORE ABOUT THE SUMMER OF SONGBIRDS

Four women come together to save the summer camp that changed their lives and rediscover themselves in the process in this heartwarming new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding Veil. 

Nearly thirty years ago, in the wake of a personal tragedy, June Moore bought Camp Holly Springs and transformed it into a thriving summer haven exclusively for girls. This beloved camp became a sanctuary, a place where generations of young women forged unbreakable bonds and discovered their true selves. But now, June finds herself in a precarious position, facing the very real danger of losing the place she has poured her heart and soul into. As she grapples with this threat, June begins to confront a profound realization: she has used the camp not only as a passion project but also as a shield, a way to avoid facing deeper, unresolved difficulties and truths in her own life. The fight to save Camp Holly Springs becomes not just a battle for a physical place, but a journey of self-reckoning for its founder.

Among the many lives touched by Camp Holly Springs are June’s niece, Daphne, and her two best friends, Lanier Bradley and Mary Stuart Harris. These three met during a fateful summer at camp decades ago, and their bond has remained unbreakable, seeing them through their formative years and into their thirties. However, their steadfast friendship is put to the ultimate test when Daphne, a dedicated attorney, uncovers a shocking secret: Lanier’s fiancé, who also happens to be one of Daphne’s high-profile clients, has engaged in highly illegal activities. Daphne is suddenly faced with an impossible choice, caught between her professional integrity and the deep loyalty she feels for her oldest friend.

Meanwhile, Lanier herself is burdened with secrets, both long-held and recently acquired, that complicate the situation even further. These hidden truths, when eventually brought to light, have the potential to completely reframe Daphne’s perception of the circumstances and the people she holds dear. As the intricate web of deceit begins to unravel, one of Lanier’s most profound secrets unexpectedly rises to the surface, threatening to irrevocably alter the very fabric of their cherished friendship and leave lasting emotional scars. The revelations promise to challenge their understanding of trust, loyalty, and the complex layers within every relationship.

However, when these four women—June, Daphne, Lanier, and Mary Stuart—learn that their beloved childhood oasis, Camp Holly Springs, is facing imminent closure, their personal dramas momentarily take a backseat. Putting aside their individual problems and grievances, they instinctively band together, united by a shared history and a profound love for the camp. Their collective mission to save it sends them on an unforeseen journey, one that is rich with challenges, revelations, and the rekindling of old bonds. This shared endeavor promises to open the next, transformative chapters in each of their lives, leading them toward unexpected paths of healing, growth, and renewed purpose.

From an author whose “writing coats your soul with heart” (E! Online), The Summer of Songbirds is a lyrical and unforgettable celebration of female friendship, the enduring power of community, and a heartfelt love letter to the cherished places and the extraordinary people that profoundly shape us into who we are today. It’s a compelling narrative about resilience, second chances, and the profound impact of connection.
