Text: She thinks they're cursed. He thinks they're pure magic...
The Harvest Moon Cafe
Farah Halliwell

Cover illustration: Zoomed in on a red brick townhouse, the porch is decorated festively for fall with planters filled with fall flowers, and some pumpkins in various oranges--and one white one--artfully strewn about. A small sandwich board features a hand drawn pumpkin and some lines indicating text. The front window is aglow, in which a thin woman with light brown skin and long, dark brown hair swept back in a fantastic ponytale is pouring the steamed milk into a latte. There is a grey cat peeking out from behind her, and the front of the window is filled with a delightful array of baked goods.
