About this listen

In this instant New York Times bestselling novel by “Southern sensation Kristy Woodson Harvey” (Good Morning America), four women come together to save the summer camp that changed their lives and rediscover themselves in the process.

Nearly thirty years ago, June Moore bought Camp Holly Springs and turned it into a thriving summer haven for girls. But now, June is in danger of losing the place she has sacrificed everything for and begins to realize how much she has used the camp to avoid facing difficulties in her life.

June’s niece, Daphne, met her two best friends, Lanier and Mary Stuart, during a fateful summer at camp. They’ve all helped each other through hard times and the three are inseparable even in their thirties. But when attorney Daphne is confronted with a relationship from her past—and a confidential issue at work becomes personal—she is faced with an impossible choice.

Lanier, meanwhile, is struggling with tough decisions of her own. After a run-in with an old flame, she is torn between the commitment she made to her fiancé and the one she made to her first love. And when a big secret comes to light, she finds herself at odds with her best friend…and risks losing the person she loves most.

But in spite of their personal problems, nothing is more important than Camp Holly Springs. When the women learn their childhood oasis is in danger of closing, they band together to save it, sending them on a journey that promises to open the next chapters in their lives.

Lyrical and unforgettable, “The Summer of Songbirds is a warm, hopeful story of friendship, love, and second chances” (Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

Loved this story and really hated to have it end. It’s just full of the things real friendship are all about.
Have recommended many many times.

Good story, terrible narration

I hate to say this because I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings but the narration of this book is horrendous. Please bring back the voice that narrated Ansley’s character in the Peachtree Bluff series. This is a great story; reminds me of Summers at Camp Greystone. Unfortunately, the narration is so cringey is hard to listen and really appreciate the story.

Easy Read

Lighthearted storyline that held my interest. The narration of the children’s voices throughout the book was over the top, though, and was so bad I could barely get through the last minutes of the book. Way over animated and probably unnecessary.

The story was great. The narration was often too slow and childlike. The woman who read Daphne was great.
