The prequel the "Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman.
You might have seen the movie 
ractical Magic' with Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, and Diane Wiest. It takes us to the 1600's when the first 'Owens' witch, Maria Owens, comes to the United States after she witness' the killing of her adopted mother, Hannah Owens, She meets her birth mother, Rebecca, who sells her to a ship captain who then sells her as an indentured servant, where she learns magic from the islanders. Where she meets John Hawthorn, a Puritan, who impregnates her then leaves abruptly, back to Massachusetts, where she follows him and eventually gets tried as a witch.
It is a poignant story of heartache, love spells, kidnapping, rituals, and survival during the witch trials.
It's a lovely series of books, and perfect for this time of year!!
