First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen

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

The Waverley women are agitated by the vagaries of their wicked apple treeand all the magic that swirls around it as temperatures drop and leaves begin to turn in October in Bascom, North Carolina. But this year, first frost has much more in store.

Though Claire Waverley's homemade confections--rose to recall lost love, lavender to promote happiness, and lemon verbena to ease throats and minds--are particularly effective, the business of selling them is costing her the ordinary joys of her family, as well as her faith in her own valuable gifts.

Sydney Waverley, too, is losing her footing. With each passing day, she longs for a baby-- a nameake for her beautiful Henry-- but the longer she tries, the more her yearning turns into an unquenchable need, robbing her of the pleasure she already has.

Bay, Sydney's daughter, has given her heart to the boy she knows it belongs toif only he could see it tooBut how can he, when he is so far away that he looks to her as a puff of smoke?

When a mysterious visitor appears and threatens the very heart of their family, each of them is forced to make decisions they have never faced before. Throughout it all, the Waverley sisters must find a way to keep their family together through this difficult season of change, while waiting for the momentous event that is First Frost.
