Cape Cod is a quintessential New England vacation destination with an unmatched natural beauty, pristine national seashore, historic small towns, and laid-back maritime atmosphere. Artists and creatives are drawn to the Cape's serene vistas and riotous alchemy of light and color, and with this one-of-a-kind book by Cape Cod-resident Milisa Moses, readers everywhere can too. Across four seasons of Cape Cod's rugged magic, Moses invites us to revel in the smell of beach roses, the incomparable feeling of a brisk walk along the shoreline at dusk, the tang of a foraged beach plum, and the joy of easy crafting projects.

Ocean Effect celebrates Cape artists whose work has been deeply informed by the land, and features simple, nature-inspired projects and hundreds of photographs that celebrate the people, places, and plants that call the Cape home, with spotlights on local plants like roses, bayberry, pitch pine, goldenrod, milkweed, and lady's slippers, and how to include them in select projects and recipes. A gorgeous love letter to a beloved place, this is the perfect gift for anyone who has fallen in love with Cape Cod.
