Autumn has lived in Avening for a long time and she isn't thrilled to be told that she needs to move on. They give her one year to choose and prepare a successor. They also give her a list of potential names chosen by their prophet. That doesn't make Autumn happy. There are several women she'd consider who aren't on the list and she hasn't heard of several who are on it.
The book continues with a story about each woman that each takes place on a different holiday on the Celtic Wheel of the Year. Each of them has a different type of magical ability. Most of them don't know that what they are able to do is actually magic. Only one has had any formal type of magical training. None of them know that there is a group of magical women who they may be asked to join.
This is a quiet book about the life of a town and the interior lives of some of the women who live there. It is about using your skills to achieve the greatest potential that you are able.This review was originally posted on Based On A True Story
