About the book
In this instant New York Times bestselling novel written by Kristy Woodson Harvey, four women unite to rescue the summer camp that shaped their lives and find themselves in the process.
Almost three decades ago, June Moore purchased Camp Holly Springs and transformed it into a thriving summer retreat for girls. However, June now faces the risk of losing the place she has dedicated everything to and realizes how much she has relied on the camp to avoid confronting challenges in her life.
June's niece, Daphne, met her closest friends, Lanier and Mary Stuart, during a significant summer at the camp. They have supported each other through tough times and remain inseparable even in their thirties. But when lawyer Daphne encounters a past relationship and a work-related issue turns personal, she is forced to make a difficult decision.
Meanwhile, Lanier grapples with her own dilemmas. Following a reunion with an old flame, she is torn between her commitment to her fiancé and the love of her first relationship. As a major secret is revealed, she finds herself in conflict with her best friend and risks losing the person she cherishes most.
Despite their personal challenges, the preservation of Camp Holly Springs takes top priority. The women join forces to rescue their childhood sanctuary from closure, embarking on a journey that promises to shape the next chapters of their lives.
