"The Angels Trilogy" by Lurlene McDaniel (an old-world review)


Summary: "Leah is not happy about being stuck in the hospital for the holidays while her mother is thousands of miles away on a honeymoon with husband number five. Until she meets her hospital roommate, Rebekah, and her big family. Cynical 16-year-old Leah has never known people like this before. From Rebekah’s handsome brother, Ethan, who can barely look Leah in the eye, to her kind older sister, Charity, the Amish family captivates Leah with its simple, loving ways. When Leah receives frightening information about her condition, her new friends show her that miracles can happen. And that sometimes angels appear in the most unexpected places." (Thanks, Goodreads!)

So these books I first read as a tween, and they touched my heart so much that I still reread them, and I got my mom to as well. Lurlene McDaniel is known for writing novels with terminally ill people in them, and making you sob so hard, your book's text gets smudged. These books will make you tear up, but the romance between Leah and Ethan will make you hold on while the plot takes some unexpected twists and turns in this trilogy. It's great for people who love reading and learning about the Amish, and for anybody who loves a good romance and a great storyline.

Rating: 4/4 Amish buggies
