When they both get sent to the orchard for the summer with Birdie, no one expects them to learn the secrets of friendship, hope, life, perfect peaches, and perfect guys. And yet, somewhere between secret midnight swims in the lake, secret crushes, and secret gardens, they discover themselves and the strength of their friendship.
