Candles in the Harvest Moon
Candles in the Harvest Mo
Book one of the Wickmere seasons
By Leeann Phipps
In the little town of Wickmere, autumn has a magic all its own.
It is October in the 1950s, and the quiet streets of Wickmere, Rhode Island, are settling into their most enchanting season. Chrysanthemums bloom outside shop windows, fallen leaves gather along cobblestone paths, and the warm glow of candlelight spills from cozy homes as the harvest moon rises over the town.
For Marjorie Hale, life in Wickmere is filled with familiar routines, comforting traditions, and the fragrant flowers of Larkin & Bloom, the local florist where she works. But beneath the town's peaceful autumn charm, something extraordinary is beginning to stir.
Candles relight themselves after being extinguished. Leaves gather where no wind has blown. Animals behave as though they understand secrets the townspeople have long forgotten. And the deeper Marjorie looks into Wickmere's peculiar happenings, the more she begins to suspect that the town's old stories may hold more truth than anyone realizes.
With the guidance of Ethel Whitcomb, a wise woman who understands far more about Wickmere's traditions than she initially reveals, Marjorie begins to discover the quiet magic woven into the town's history and the unexpected connection she may have to it.
As the harvest season unfolds, Marjorie finds herself surrounded by old friendships, gentle mysteries, a hint of romance, and the comforting realization that sometimes the most extraordinary things are hidden within the ordinary.
But magic in Wickmere is not about grand spells or powerful enchantments.
It lives in the flicker of a candle, the rustling of autumn leaves, the memories we carry, and the places that make us feel we belong.
Candles in the Harvest Moon is a heartwarming, atmospheric tale of gentle witchcraft, small town traditions, friendship self discovery, and the quiet beauty of autumn.
