I did not know what to expect from this book - boy was I surprised! What a heartwarming story - it caught me right from the start and kept me riveted throughout the trilogy. It could easily have been one book, since the story is really a continuation throughout - I really do not know why the author broke it up into 3 separate parts. Anyway, any story involving the Amish always intrigues me, and this one was no exception. The relationship between the Amish and the English in general is fascinatin...more

This book has a very sad but moving story. It is a book that greatly exemplifies the roles of love and faith in our lives. Like Leah, I found myself surprised by the power that faith could have in one’s life; and how the simplest things sometimes were worth the most. I found myself intrigued by the Amish culture, and their very simple but faithful way of life. The pure trust they put into God was moving. They gave him their lives wholly, living and loving for him. Like Leah, I found this hard to...more
I am currently reading the Angels Trilogy. I am in the second book, i can honestly say that when she announced she had cancer i cried. And in the second book when... well i wont tell you cause it would ruin it! But i was devastated, this book is amazing and it helps me see that sometimes we cannot explain things scientifically and we cannot change anything if it is Gods will. SO, i suggest you go get this book NOW and START READING. Trust me you will not regret it.

I read the first book of this trilogy and I thought it was pretty good the author kinda tries to show you through her book that miracles can really happen! In this book they are mostly in the hospital because of Leah's finger . The narration in the story is in third person. In this story Leah is upset with her mom because she thinks that her mom doesn't need to be getting married for the fifth time! I really like this book because one, I love lurlene mcdaniels and second it teaches me that no ma...more
I don't usually take books that students say I should read especially a trilogy - three books in one volume, but I couldn't say no this time...the story of a young girl falling for an Amish boy was a bit overly dramatized, but in reading this book, my student's all-time favorite, most read book, I could see my teenage self. I would have loved the drama, the suspended reality, and the supposed control that teenagers think they have over fate. It was a fast read - a good bit of fluff for a warm Sa...more
I love these books. They are so heartfelt and well be prepared to cry your eyes out. Lurlene McDaniels does an amazing job with her books. She knows how to suck readers in and keep them wanting more. I have read a ton of Lurlene McDaniel books and I fall more in love with each and every one. She is by far my favorite author. She is a very heartfelt writter and if you think these books may be to much for you to handel give them a try. I garentee you will want to read more of her books.
Four stars does not mean, in this instance, that it's good -- more that it's good for what it is. The plotline is repetitive yet somehow less grating and trite than most. The glaring issues are easy to push aside because the characters are more unique than we tend to see in her writing. If you're a reader of the Lurlenes, you'll likely be as impressed with this offering as I was. If you're not already, this trilogy isn't strong enough to bring you into the fold.
In this book I learned that it doesn't matter what kind of religion or background or lifestyle a person has as long as you love them and they love you back. Also that when you least expect it anything can happen and the greatest thinigs in life happen in the blink of an eye.
Any girl that dreams of romance and finding the right person in the wrong places would love this book.

Pretty good time waster. The story kind of didn't go anywhere though. It was pretty much just a normal excitement series of events that made an okay plot.
The characters for me were kind of boring but overall, they were okay.
McDaniel has a way of writing really cliched ideas into her own which is why I like reading her work.
Three stars.

I borrowed this from my 14 year old niece. It is a heart wrenching story about an amish boy and an american girl and how their worlds meet.
I knew some about the amish community but after reading this I can appreciate their lifestyle more. A great read for all ages.
Must read all 3 books. Quick and easy reader.

I love the first two books and the look into Amish life, but the last book left me feeling like the story wasn't resolved. I first read these books in 1999 in junior high and went a search trying to find them as an adult. That should show how the story stuck with me.

I'm not a Lurlene McDaniel fan but I did really enjoy this trilogy of books as a teen. I think Ethan was one of the first characters I ever had a crush on! And I'm pretty sure this was the book that ignited my Amish fascination.
Ah-Mazing. I LOVED this trilogy. I really did. I think it was phenomenal and well, just great. It was kind of sad at the very end for me, but hey, I'm emotional. It's a great book for ALL ages!!!
I loved this book but i couldn't finish reading after my baby got knock down, that's were the book ended for me. Everyday i look at this book trying to figure out should i finish..

I love this book so much. This is Lurlene McDaniel at her best. This is also the first Lurlene McDaniel book I read, and that's what got me into her books.
Very interesting, heart warming, and sad trilogy dealing with terminal illnesses, and the differences between the Amish World and the English World.
it was the best book ever. i learned so much from this book. absolutly amazing. it was also really sad tho.

One of my favorites of all time, I've read it a million times and still cry everytime
Lurlene McDaniel knows how to make a girl cry. Man... I don't think I'll ever forget Leah and Ethan. Such a beautiful couple.
This was one of my favorite books as a teen, but now that I've changed so much it's just so-so.
i learned so much about amish people in this book, they really interest me!
My favorite book of all time love it could read it over and over again
I like the story, but the writing is annoying at time.
