I enjoyed this one much more than the first one. I liked seeing more of the Longacres and the other Amish. This one is incredibly sad, I forgot a lot of what happened. I remember more from the third book.
Leah still irritates me at times but not as bad as the first book. She still seems a little silly and really doesn't think much. She's been around the Amish enough to not be asking some of the questions she did. Anyway, hoping to start the third one and finish it soon.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is so heartwarming. I love the two main characters. They are so great together. It is also very sad towards the end of the book. I cried.

I read this as apart of the Angels Trilogy. I really like Lurlene McDaniel, especially when I just sprinkle her books in between other stuff. However, this is the first time I've ever read a full series by her and I don't know if I'm a fan of it. Her books all follow a very similar tone in which we fall in love with a young person and their story and then something tragic happens that rips your heart out. When we're seeing that repeat over and over in the same people's lives it becomes a little too much. This book follows Leah from the first book. In the first book she hurt her finger and the injury spiraled into something else. While she was in the hospital, she shared a room with a young Amish girl named Rebecca who was hospitalized for a spider bite. Rebecca's parents had work to do on the farm so it was her brother, Ethan, and her sister, Charity that were there by her bed the whole time. The 4 of them became fast friends and that was the first book. In this second book, Leah decides to spend the summer working in a town near the family's farm so she interacts with the kids alot. Her and Ethan had the beginnings of a relationship and that is expanded upon in this book. Additionally there is a lot of discussion on what its like to be an Amish teen and discover your own identity. I thought this was really good and interesting, but I didn't like watching tragedy fall twice.

This book is #2 in the author's Angels trilogy. In all fairness, I have not read #1 or #3. This story is very sweet and very heavy on spiritual and cultural influences. The Author includes higher power and angels. This is also a story about Ethan and Leah and about how different both their lives are.
In book #1 Leah was diagnosed with bone cancer and she met Rebekah Longacr, who was sharing her room, and the rest of her Amish family. Rebekah has a brother named Ethan who is Leah's age. Both patients were helped by a mysterious woman named Gabriella. After Gabriella touched Leah her cancer disappeared.
In book #2, Leah is at Nappanee for the summer, near Rebekah's Amish village. Leah has taken a job as a maid at a small inn. Leah visits Longacre farm and the whole family many times. She learns about Amish ways and about Rumspringa AKS ‘taking a fling’ where 16 year old Amish boys experiment with worldly things. After going through the ups and downs of the vast differences between them, both are conflicted. Leah likes the simple life, but cannot imagine herself as Amish without running water, electricity, a car or other worldly possessions. Ethan is also torn between his family life and that of the English.
No spoilers but a tragedy makes both revisit their options. They separate at the end of summer not knowing what will happen. (Hence book#3)

After taking six weeks of chemo as an precaution or insurance against the return of cancer. Leah is at Nappanee for her summer , near Rebekah's Amish village . Leah has taken job of a maid at small inn Nappanee,Indiana. Leah visits Longacre farm and the whole family Mr. Longacre , Mrs. Longacre ,Ethan , Charity , Rebekah , brother Simeon baby Nathan , Elizabeth and their grandfather and Opa{grandmother} .
Leah had fallen for Ethan, the Amish boy months ago.
In the whole summer she visits Longacre's farm many times , she learns about Amish ways , about Rumspringa—‘taking a fling.’ where Amish boy turns sixteen, he is free to experiment with worldly things . about how Amish believe " Bible teaches that forbidden fruit becomes more appealing . Amish parents hope that if they look the other way, then their boy will eventually grow tired of the pleasures of the world

After going through the ups and downs of the vast differences between them . Leah likes simple life , but cannot imagine herself as Amish without running water, electricity , car or other worldly possessions .
Ethan is shown as very strong character with his declarations like
“I am not this way, Leah. Yes, I have tried out some of the things you’ve said. All these things are frowned upon by my family. But I have never been with a girl I did not choose to be with. And since I met you last December, there is no other girl that I want as much as I want you.”
“Knowing you has been special to me, Leah.”
“I like everything I do with you.”
But Ethan is sweet too,when he gives the small bunny earring to Leah saying
“It is small. It is cute. You said girls like such things.”
Ethan is young and confused too when he wants to see the world
“Sometimes I think about traveling all over the world.”
But he can not imagine his life surrounded with cars , he want his land his farm animals .when he says
“Land is the greatest thing a man can own, but I cannot imagine owning a farm that grows nothing, has no livestock, and stores cars in a good barn.”
“I cannot imagine being stuck someplace where there is no land around me. Where there are only cars and noise and too many people. The land makes me feel connected to God and all that he has made.”
Ethan is trying to change by wearing "English" clothes , eating fast food visiting hair salon cutting his hair , trying to learn driving , not going to church on Sunday, spending time with Leah, dating her, he is making many changes in his life. He invites Leah to the camp out . Takes care of her during the barn dance. Goes with her to hospital to Indianapolis for her cancer followup testing and a checkup .Ethan shows without a doubt throughout the book that he cares about Leah .
Ethan and Leah spend the whole summer together trying to understand each others lifestyle .
Rebekah meets with an accident and dies in the hospital . At Rebekah's funeral Leah sees Gabriella and Rebekah "Gabriella. Rebekah. Holding hands" . She tells about her experience to Longacre's , at first they dismiss her by saying may be as a dream or hallucination . Oma believes her when Leah tells that Rebekah waved a hanky , cause Oma {grandmother} had tucked Rebekah's favorite hanky in her hand in the coffin. No one could have known about the hanky except Oma {grandmother}.
Leah has to return to school after the summer.
After going through the ups and downs of the vast differences between them , Ethan tells Leah at the end that he loves her Leah also declare her love for him
“I love you too. I have for months.”
Ethan tells her
“We are going to be together,”.
“I do not know how, Leah. I do not know when. I only know we will.”
Looking into Ethan’s eyes, Leah believed him. His word was enough.
It was enough.
Its a good ending where they declare the love for each other but still a cliffhanger , where we do not know what has the future installed for them . I felt like the hero Ethan was doing all the work throughout the book . Leah was just there observing his transformation . Ethan was trying one way to bridge the gap between their lifestyles by becoming less Amish and more "English" . Leah is critical in so many way about Amish traditions their beliefs and their religion . If she really loves Ethan the gap should be bridged on her side also we do not see that in the book this story Leah doesn't make any effort to go towards Ethan she just stands on her place and want him to come to her .
Maybe next book
.......will give some answers .

I read Lurlene’s books in middle school and they were what started me on my love for reading. After I got my hands on one of her books, I absolutely devoured the rest. I so badly need to do a re read.
March 5, 2024
Another book I devoured while crying and needed tissues for.
The whole series is good. I think I've read it 3 times.
I liked Leah and I will quickly read Amish stories as well.
Heart wrenching but good story.

Better than the first in the series. Should have known someone was not going to make it out of this one.

Again...it’s been ages since I’ve read this book but it’s still one of my favorites of all time. The entire series is wonderful and it was about time I reviewed it. Even after almost a decade since I last read this book, I still remember it with great clarity, having read it so many times back when I was a pre-teen.
The series got even better with this second installment of the trilogy where Leah goes to the Amish community for the summer to be near Ethan. It’s interesting to see his world and learn more about him, and do it with Leah as she continues to get an education from this whole other world. The sadness of this book is all the more than the first one (spoilers: there’s a major death in it), and it’s hard to imagine how everyone can be so strong in dealing with the pain.
The Amish are a very interesting people. This is the only series I’ve ever read in dealing with a subject/people so heavy, but it does leave me intrigued for more. I’m quite shocked that I’ve never read anything else on the subject.
One more book in the series, and it’ll be my favorite of the trilogy (there’s actually an interesting story behind it but you’ll have to read that review to know what it is). Like the first one, I’ve been meaning to pick this one back up to read but I still have to get through the many others I’m knee deep in at the moment. Just make sure, if you check this one out, to remember to have tissues!

Lifed Up by Angels is the second book following Angels Watching Over Me. This book was very good! And by reading this book after the first it was even more interesting. This time Leah spent the summer in the Amish environment. She developed and even stronger relationship with Ethan, as well as with Charity and Rebekah. She also learned more about the Amish then she ever imagined.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about other cultures, it is a shock! Also, this book is very drama filled and heart renching. And if anyone has read the first book, they definitely should read the second!
Although, if you are more into action or fighting, this is not the book for you. If you are usually annoyed by love and gossip...RUN AWAY from this book, FAR AWAY!
This not only was an amazing book to read from my perspective, but it was also a HUGE learning experience! I fell into the pages of this book, and did not want to put it down once I finally got into it. I also was so interested in learning about the Amish even after reading it. They are really just normal people that live differently, almost like people who are rich. I also came to realize that they have more feelings and love in their heart than anyone who lives a normal life, usually.
Not only was this a great book, and series! But, I would definitely read them again!

Lifted up by Angels is the sequel to Angels Watching over Me by Lurlene McDaniel. After finding out that Leah’s bone cancer is deteriorating and that she might have a chance to be completely cured after the chemotherapy, she spends her summer in Indianapolis with Ethan and his family. Meanwhile, her mother and stepfather are on vacation at various locations such as Hawaii and sending Leah postcards. During her stay with Ethan, she finds out that since Ethan is seventeen, he get a period of time where he can try out the English ways and decides whether he would remain Amish or become English. Compared this book to the prequel, this book was less intense and depressing. However, the ending of this book took me by a surprise because it ended with a death of Ethan’s younger sister, Rebekah, who brought Ethan and Leah to meet in the first place. Furthermore, Rebekah got ran over by a truck and it was tragic now her father had to end her life since she was only brain dead. It is heartbreaking to see how Ethan and his father had to make a coffin for Rebekah and read how Leah morn over Rebekah’s death.

Lurlene McDaniel sure knows how to yank on the heartstrings! After reading the first book in the trilogy I was hooked. I wanted to see what happened with Ethan and Leah.
With Ethan being Amish and Leah being English there were so many differences but they knew they cared for each other. Rebekah brought them together through her childlike ways, not seeing the differences as much as others would. At the beginning of summer when Leah went to work near the Longacre farm I wasn't sure if things would go very well with Ethan's family. Yes, the children loved and accepted Leah but Mr. Longacre was wary of her. Ethan "went against" everyone by being with Leah and participating in her English ways. He was torn between his world and hers and I believe he wanted to be a part of both.
As the book went on I had a feeling Leah's cancer would return since she was having pain in her knee and was having to have a checkup I never expected anything to happen to Rebekah.

Another great story by Lurlene McDaniel. Her stories always touch my heart and although may have sadness, there is a greater meaning buried within.
Lifted Up by Angels is no exception. Her main character, Leah, has finished her chemotherapy and is needing a vacation from her mother. She decides to go visit her Amish friend for the summer. Leah had become friends with Rebekah and her family as Rebekah was in the hospital when Leah was. She became close to Charity, Rebekah's older sister and had become enamored by Ethan, her older brother.
But Leah was considered "English" by the Amish community, she wasn't one of them. But they liked Leah because she had helped Rebekah when they were in the hospital.
Lurlene McDaniel has combined a beautiful love story with heart wrenching reality of life in another great novel. Great read!!

This book was about Leah was spending her summer working in an inn or hotel. During her days off, she goes to visit Ethan and Charity. Leah and Ethan are trying to be together because they are from different cultures. Both Leah and Ethan had faced challenges from death, family pressure and culture pressure.
In this book, I learned that it is hard to face challenges by yourself because if there was no one to support you, there is a feeling of being defeated and useless. I enjoyed reading this book because it is full of romances but also filled with challenges and lessons that character learned and faced. I think it is a very inspiring book that teaches people how to overcome challenges that they face.

This Book is the second to "Angles Watching Over Me'. In this book Leah goes to Nappanea, Indiana to spend her summer. There she rents an apartment, and hangs out with her crush Ethan and his family. Leah already knew them from the first book where she shared a hospital room with Ethan's little sister Rebecca. While Leah spends her summer here she vists alot of amish cultural outings. She meets Charity's (Ethan' sister) crush, who is really rude to Leah and Ethan considering she is not amish. She also meets Meatha DewBerry who recently had a relationship with Ethan. She goes through troubles by living in a amish communtiy and worring that her cancer could return. Even though it is tough, she stays with it and helps the family out with Rebecca's illness.

Leah and Ethan have some very hard decision ahead of them, that will test their beliefs and their love. I loved the the this books as much as the first. It always makes me cry and also appreciate life more, because we never know what will happen in the future. I like to believe that I live my life fully everyday, like tomorrow could be my last. It's an important lesson to learn and always remember. And this story has it written in a way that makes you realize that life is precious and you need to appreciate it.

Pretty good read, real quick. Read it because I am cleaning off my shelf. I did not have the first one though so I feel like I missed a few things with the characters. If I had read the first one this book would be much easier to get into. A traumatic event happens most of the way through the book and I probably should have cried but I didn't. On the whole this was a well written book and enjoyable.
December 31, 2014
I loved Lifted Up by Angels! The story picks up six months after the previous book, Angels Watching Over Me, ended and the story in this book was so much more enjoyable. I'm not sure if was more enjoyable because I now know the characters and so the story didn't give as many descriptions about them, or if the book was just written better. Either way I loved it and am looking forward to reading the final book in this trilogy. Highly recommend this book.

Leah, the teenager with cancer, is now deeply involved emotionally with the Amish, and especially one young man. He cannot do much about their love, for they live in different worlds. The interaction between young lovers, between families and between worlds blends nicely with the main thread of the story - terminal illness in a teen.
