In this bittersweet romance, two teens living decades apart form a bond that will change their lives forever.      Amy is drawn to the misty, mysterious clearing behind her Aunt Mae’s place because it looks like the perfect place to hide from life. A place to block out the pain of her last relationship, to avoid the kids in her new town, to stop dwelling on what her future holds after high school.      Then, she meets a boy lurking in the mist—Henry. Henry is different from any other guy Amy has ever known. And after several meetings in the clearing, she’s starting to fall for him.      But Amy is stunned when she finds out just how different Henry really is. Because on his side of the clearing, it’s still 1944. By some miracle, Henry and his family are stuck in the past, staving off the tragedy that will strike them in the future. Amy’s crossing over to Henry’s side brings him more happiness than he’s ever known—but her presence also threatens to destroy his safe existence.      In The Clearing, author Heather Davis crafts a tender and poignant tale about falling in love, finding strength, and having the courage to make your own destiny—a perfect book to slip into and hide away for awhile.

Liked the plot in this one, but it needed to be longer, or made shorter (into a short story.) It was in between and made it feel like there was no time for a connection between characters.

I read this captivating, magical teen novel in one sitting. A high school senior fleeing a bad experience and looking to start anew learns to stand up for herself without shutting out those who would be her friends.
