As Clover navigates the challenges of her new life in the city and her relationship with Phil, she also becomes involved in the fair's various attractions and events, including a mysterious and dangerous sideshow. Through Clover's eyes, the reader experiences the excitement and wonder of the White City, as well as the darker underbelly of the fair and the city itself. ""Sweet Clover"" is a captivating and poignant love story that also offers a vivid portrayal of a significant moment in American history.1894. Burnham is the author of many works of fiction. The Opened Shutters is among one of her most successful novels that espouse the teachings of Christian Science. Interestingly, Sweet Clover is one of many books inspired by the World�������s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 (The Emerald City of Oz was inspired by Baum�������s visit to the White City). The novel features teenaged Clover Bryant, who, with an invalid mother, two younger sisters, and a brother to support, decides on a marriage of convenience to the elderly and rich Mr. Van Tassel. Mr. Van Tassel's son Jack, who loves Clover himself, departs for Europe, returning only after his father's death. These events enable the author to write what is considered to be one of the most accurate and complete accounts of the Columbian Exposition ever written in novel form.

Originally published in 1916. Instead of the Thorn is one of the much-talked-of books in the early twentieth century. The story is of a Chicago girl brought up in luxury, whose father is ruined under circumstances that seem to her to involve his business associate. The fact that this young man is in love with the girl greatly complicates the situation, and results in a dramatic and absorbing narrative.

Her many admirers will find in her new story as much pleasure and inspiration as in anything she has ever written.
Maine readers are always interested in a book by Clara Louise Burnham and "Clever Betsy" will be no exception, particularly as much of the scene is laid in a little Maine seacoast village which the author calls Fairport, but which readers may recognize by other names. The real "character" of the story is clever Betsy herself, the romance is woven around her protégé, who is the "clinging vine" type of girl, rejoicing in a glorious crown of golden hair and the romantic name of Rosalie Vincent. She is one of the sort who "hopeth all things, endureth all things," (the unwelcome attentions and persecutions of a certain young man excepted) and one is rewarded by winning as fine a young man as the present day affords, and to whom her friendless and orphaned state appeals. But the regulation love affair of this charming young couple is quite lacking in the spice that makes the courtship of Clever Betsy and her captain, Hiram Salter, so diverting. -Lewiston Evening Journal, Oct. 17, 1910
