Together for another juicy summer, carefree Murphy, perfect Leeda, and big-hearted Birdie return to the place that allowed them to bloom.

Children's Literature
In this sequel to Peaches and The Secrets of Peaches, the storylines of best friends Leeda, Murphy and Birdie are brought to a conclusion. The summer after their first year away at college, the girls return to Bridgewater, Georgia, each for their own reasons. Leeda arrives to hear her grandmother's will, planning to return to her new life in New York City as soon as possiblebut her grandmother had other plans for her. Murphy finds herself fighting her mother to learn who her father really is. And Birdie comes home to gain perspective on her relationship, only to find home is not quite as permanent as she thought. In this tale of growing up and discovering who you are really meant to be, the three friends go through the most confusing summer of their lives and come out on the other side very different from how they started. Older teens will probably get the most out of this book, as it deals with a number of themes that will not make as much sense to the younger end of the YA spectrum who have not yet begun to approach the era of truly leaving home.
