When Autumn Leaves by Amy S. Foster is a novel set in the small town of Avening on the Pacific coast, where magical things seem to continually happen. Autumn, the town wise-woman, is leaving Avening and looking for someone to replace her, someone with magical gifts of her own. The town draws many unusual people to live there, and many unexpected women and girls come forth seeking this position. This is their story.

I usually enjoy books filled with magical realism, but this is not the best one I’ve read. However, it is charming and enchanting in it’s own way, and mildly interesting if you like this sort of thing.
