Description - The Love That Split the World by Deborah Burnside

Natalie's last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start . . . until she starts seeing the 'wrong things.' They're just momentary glimpses at first-her front door is red instead of its usual green, there's a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn't right.

That's when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls 'Grandmother,' who tells her- 'You have three months to save him.' The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it's as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

'Henry's story captivates, both as a romance and as an imaginative rethinking of time and space. The relationship between Beau and Natalie sizzles while also reflecting the innocence of first love, and the unfolding mystery of their changing realities is enough to keep readers turning pages . . . Henry delivers a story with depth, originality, and complexity.'Publishers Weekly

'An utterly gorgeous and touching tale of love, hope and sacrifice; this novel broke my heart and then stitched it back together just in time to break it all over again. You will emerge breathless, longing for even a glimpse of those rolling bluegrass hills of Kentucky, and completely certain of the possibility of young love. I know I did.'Leslye Walton, author of the award-winning novel,The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender
