Publishers WeeklyFavorite series and characters come to the fore this season. The three one-of-a-kind Georgia girls who converged at Darlington Orchard during picking season in Peaches (which PW's starred review called "a novel about broken hearts, broken spirits, and the healing power of friendship") return for The Secrets of Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson, which picks up in the autumn, just where the first book left off.

Readers may have met Murphy, Ledda, and Birdie in Peaches, the first book of this series, and if so, already know of the family connections and the overriding importance of the peach orchard.
