Heather Davis truly outdoes herself with the bittersweet love story of Amy and Henry in “The Clearing.” As her website (heatherdavisbooks.wordpress.com) mentions, Davis’s books center around ordinary people experiencing extraordinary events.
In “The Clearing,” Heather Davis tells the tale of Amy, an average teenage girl living with her Great Aunt. While exploring a clearing one day Amy magically comes in contact with Henry, a teen whose side of the clearing has been stuck in 1944. Despite the many decades that lie between them, Henry and Amy fall in love and learn valuable life lessons from each other.
Anyone who has enjoyed “The Time Traveler’s Wife” or any of Heather Davis’s other books should definitely read “The Clearing.” It was a quick and easy read that was both heart touching and enjoyable.
