FIRST FROST

A Novel

By Sarah Addison Allen

Sarah Addison Allen, beloved local author of Garden Spells, returns with a luminous story of the trouble with hanging on too long, and the magic that happens when you finally let go.

Autumn has finally arrived in the small town of Bascom, North  Carolina, heralded by a strange old man appearing with a beat-up  suitcase. He has stories to tell, stories that could change the lives  of the Waverley women forever.  But the Waverleys have enough trouble

on their hands. 

Quiet Claire Waverley has started a successful new  venture, Waverley’s Candies, but it’s nothing like she thought it  would be, and it’s slowly taking over her life.

Claire’s wild sister Sydney, still trying to leave her past behind, is  about to combust with her desire for another new beginning. And  Sydney’s fifteen-year-old daughter Bay has given her heart away to the  wrong boy and can’t get it back.
