Sixteen-year-old Clara Gardner has known for two years that
she is a Quartarius, a quarter-angel, as is her brother
Jeffrey. Their human father and half-angel mother are
divorced and their father now lives in New York.
Clara's time has come to experience her purpose as an angel-
blood, and she has just experienced her first "vision" of a
boy standing in the middle of the forest threatened by a
huge forest fire. Her visions prompt the three to move from
California to Wyoming, where Clara's visions are set. Here
she meets Angela, another half-angel, and becomes friends.
Together they learn to understand and experience the true
meaning of their fate and purpose in life.
Saving Christian Prescott appears to be Clara's purpose,
even though she falls in love with Tucker Avery, a rodeo
cowboy who attends her school and is brother to her best
friend. The supernatural powers tend to get out of control
and Clara's true purpose becomes unidentifiable as she
becomes further engrossed in searching for the truth.
UNEARTHLY is a heartwarming story of a teenager learning to
cope with the supernatural powers bestowed upon her, and
how she separates them from her everyday life. Your heart
will go out to her as she is conflicted between good and
evil, as well as right and wrong. The lasting effect it
will have upon the person she loves clouds her decision. I
found the topic most interesting and full of amusing
situations Clara finds herself in during her
experimentations. I would welcome other creations by this
author.
In the beginning, there\'s a boy standing in the trees . . . .
Clara Gardner has recently learned that she\'s part angel.
Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her
smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she
realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she
has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to
do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn\'t easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring
stranger lead her to a new school in a new town. When she
meets Christian, who turns out to be the boy of her dreams
(literally), everything seems to fall into place—and out of
place at the same time. Because there\'s another guy, Tucker,
who appeals to Clara\'s less angelic side.
As Clara
tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands,
she encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought
she\'d have to make—between honesty and deceit, love and
duty, good and evil. When the fire from her vision finally
ignites, will Clara be ready to face her
destiny?
Unearthly is a moving tale of love and
fate, and the struggle between following the rules and
following your heart.
