From the New York Times bestselling author of GARDEN SPELLS comes a story of the Waverley family, in a novel as sparkling as the first dusting of frost on new-fallen leaves...It's October in Bascom, North Carolina, and autumn will not go quietly. As temperatures drop and leaves begin to turn, the Waverley women are made restless by the whims of their mischievous apple tree... and all the magic that swirls around it. But this year, first frost has much more in store.Claire Waverley has started a successful new venture, Waverley's Candies. Though her handcrafted confectionsrose to recall lost love, lavender to promote happiness and lemon verbena to soothe throats and mindsare singularly effective, the business of selling them is costing her the everyday joys of her family, and her belief in her own precious gifts.Sydney Waverley, too, is losing her balance. With each passing day she longs more for a baby a namesake for her wonderful Henry. Yet the longer she tries, the more her desire becomes an unquenchable thirst, stealing the pleasure out of the life she already has.Sydney's daughter, Bay, has lost her heart to the boy she knows it belongs to...if only he could see it, too. But how can he, when he is so far outside her grasp that he appears to her as little more than a puff of smoke?When a mysterious stranger shows up and challenges the very heart of their family, each of them must make choices they have never confronted before. And through it all, the Waverley sisters must search for a way to hold their family together through their troublesome season of change, waiting for that extraordinary event that is First Frost.Lose yourself in Sarah Addison Allen's enchanting world and fall for her charmed characters in this captivating story that proves that a happily-ever-after is never the real ending to a story. It's where the real story begins.

I read this one before Garden Spells simply due to my mood, the weather, and the fact that it was on sale. This family was loveable, and their story was so comforting. It is truly a light, feel-good read.

Mehso-so

**my brother got me a kindle so I‘ve been blowing through some books without reviewing, apologies up top for the inundation of reviews by me and terrible pics**

This was enjoyable enough. Not as good as the first of the book but still Sarah Addison Allen so enjoying enough to keep my attention 3⭐️

been reading a lot of dark books for the past few months. Time for a nice warm book.

Children‘s museums are a #gift to parents. Easiest way for me to get reading time in while my child plays. #magicalrealism

This was my #bookspin this month and, as per usual with Sarah Addison Allen, I adored it! It started a little slow, but I was enjoying being back in the Waverly world so I didn‘t mind. And it picked up and then ended so warmly that I expect this is one I‘ll reread. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

🍂 Just finished reading this. Really good autumn read.

🍁 Not reading many holiday books. I still have some horror novels that got pushed back to my December TBR.

🥘 We had leftover sloppy joe tater tot casserole.

🍃 I have a lot of favorites for this. I go with whatever I‘m in the mood for in that moment.
