A magical new novel from the New York Times bestselling author, featuring characters from her beloved novel Garden Spells.
As temperatures drop and leaves begin to fall from the trees in Bascom, North Carolina, the Waverley women grow restless. They give their hearts away too easily, are distracted by silver-eyed strangers, and make curious mistakes.
When an unexpected visitor shows up and challenges the very heart of their family, it becomes even more difficult to remain level-headed.
Everything should improve after the frost frost of the season. Then, their mischievous apple tree will blossom at last, and the magic that swirls around it can find a proper home. But as sisters Claire and Sydney Waverley, and Sydney's fifteen-year-old daughter Bay, are forced to make choices they have never confronted before, can they hold their family together until that extraordinary event?
This year, first frost has a lot in store . . .

Readers fell in love with Sarah Addison Allen's debut novel, GARDEN SPELLS. Now the tale of the Waverley women is to be revisited with a magical sequel.
Autumn has finally arrived in the small town of Bascom, North Carolina, heralded by a strange old man appearing with a beaten-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.
From the author of the New York Times bestselling sensation GARDEN SPELLS, FIRST FROST is magical and atmospheric, taking readers back into the lives of the gifted Waverley women - back to their strange garden and temperamental apple tree, back to their house with a personality of its own, back to the men who love them fiercely - proving that a happily-ever-after is never the real ending to a story. It's where the real story begins.
