The Summer We Danced

The Destin Diaries, Book 2

By: Hope Holloway, Cecelia Scott

Narrated by: Leslie Howard

Seven summers. Two families. One beach house. And a diary that holds all the secrets.

A month after their emotional reunion, Vivien, Lacey, and Tessa remain in Destin, their futures as uncertain as the changing tides. Vivien is focused on getting back on her feet, determined to find her own path after years of living for others. Lacey and Tessa face new challenges while starting their own business, making unexpected connections along the way.

Meanwhile, Kate and Eli are thousands of miles apart, their budding romance caught in a delicate balance. Revelations from the past send ripples through the group, bringing old tensions back to the surface and threatening to tear family and friends apart —this time for good.

As spring bursts into summer, the question remains: can they leave the rhythms of the past behind and learn to dance to a new beat, or will history keep them out of step with the future they really want?

The Destin Diaries is a heartwarming family saga co-written by bestselling women's fiction authors Hope Holloway and Cecelia Scott.
