Book Review: Lifted Up By Angels By: Lurlene McDaniel
Summary: 5 Stars

Los Angeles, CA December 4, 2000

Mrs. Lurlene McDaniel Chattanooga, Tennessee

Dear Mrs. McDaniel, After I had read Lifted Up By Angels, I was very anxious to read the companion of this book, which is called Angels watching Over Me. Your first book left me wondering what will happen next with Ethan and Leah. I was wondering if Ethan was going to visit Leah at her house. Mrs. McDaniel, the only thing that was pretty confusing to me was that even though Leah was helpful to Ethans sister, Rebekah, in the hospital last summer why was Rebekahs father still mean to Leah? Leah knew he disliked her, but why? Was it because she was American? The reason that Lifted Up By Angels appealed to me was because it's a romantic and a very sad book. I'm mostly interested in romantic and sad books. When I found this book I was so into that I couldn't put it down for a second. This book was written mostly for teenagers from age 14-16 year olds. It wasn't difficult to understand and it was clearly written to be understood. This book was very worthwhile reading because it made me understand the differences between Ethans Amish life and Leahs American life. While reading this book it made me realize even though Leah and Ethan have many differences between them they still loved each other no matter what. Even though Ethans family didn't approve of them. This book really reminded me of Romeo and Juliet because the Amish people didn't like American people. During summer, Leah spent her vacation by Ethan. She had a job and her own apartment during summer. Since the Amish didn't like being around American people they all looked at her in a very rude and mean way. Leah knew she was unwanted but she didn't care as long as she was with Ethan, Rebekah and Charity (Ethans older sister). This book was very touching. It made me smile and cry. The only time it made me smile was when Leah and Ethan were together and they didn't let anyone come between them because their love was too strong for anyone to ruin it. This book is a very sad book. When I started reading this book it said that Leah had bone cancer in her knee. It is very sad for a 16 year old to have cancer but then she got treated, not completely, the doctors thought that it might come back. So she always had pain in her knee and couldn't bend down or else the pain would come back. At the end of the story something very tragic happens that I wasn't expecting to happen. Rebekah dies! While I was reading and got to the part where the doctor came to the family and this is what he told them. "Medically, your daughter is brain dead, Mr. Longacre. The only thing keeping her alive is the machines. I want your permission to turn the machines off and let her body join her spirit." That was such a horrible thing that happened. I can't believe the family let the doctor turn off the machines and let her daughter die. Leah felt the same way as I did and it definitely wasn't fair. The doctors couldn't have been 100% sure. They couldn't have. Sincerely, Nare Ismailyan
