Everyone needs some fun every once in a while. Kathleen thinks that she has too much responsibility at home and doesn't have time for fun or time to volunteer as a Pink Angel with her friends. Lurlene McDaniel's Angels in Pink (Kathleen's Story) kept me on the edge of my seat with the constant action and different points of view by the different characters.
Kathleen McKensie's home life is not the kind of life that anyone would want to trade theirs for. Her mother, Mary Ellen, ha More...

As if having to volunteer at the hospital everyday isn't enough, you have to go home and take care of your sick mother. Lurlene McDaniel's Angels in Pink is a great read. It's genre would be realistic fiction. Angels in Pink is about three best friends, Kathleen, Raina, and Holly, who decide to help at a volunteer program at the hospital. Kathleen's father died in a car accident when she was a child. Now it's her responsiblity to take care of her sick mother. On top of that she meets, Carson, on

Even though this book is supposed to revolve around one of three best friends, Kathleen, I found that it was divided pretty evenly between the three girls. Kathleen's mother is afflicted with multiple sclerosis, which adds a human interest element to the plot that makes the reader sympathetic to Kathleen's struggles. This is also makes it quite understandable as to why Kathleen would be attracted to bad-boy Carson -- she lives such a controlled life that she needs some rebellion and unpredictabi

The book was very good. It was about three best friends volunteering for the Pink Angels. The girl Kathleen meets this guy named Carson and at first she claims she dont like him but she really does, so he asked her on a date. She didnt want to but she decided to give it a try. In the middle of the book Holly, the youngest became really close with this 5 year old boy who has chemo and she was excited that he was feeling better and got to go home. Towards the end Kathleen's mother was found on the

This book was recommended to me by a friend who thought that we could really relate to it and that the plot was interesting. It is about a girl whose in her sophomore year like I was last year and she is just like us and does community service. Her name is Kathleen and she was volunteering at a hospital where she begins to have feelings for a guy named Carson. I thought that I was able to connect with her because I feel that doing community service and contributing to the world gives us a pur

first in the trilogy series; Kathleen, Raina and Holly, best friends since sixth grade are planning to join the Pink Angels volunteer program but Kathleen have enough responsibilities at home. With her friends by her side and the new special person in her life, Carson; will Kathleen be able to realize what everything means to her.
Brilliantly written and the sketch of a teenagers' life, the book makes its place in making us realize what the world really holds.

This is the most recent book i've read, and I think it's the best so far. I'm not really those types of people that read series (excluding The Twilight Saga). But this one is very different. This book is about Kathleen and her 3 best friends. Kathleen's mom has multiple sclerosis and she is "her servant" in her friends eyes. Her bffs Raina and Holly and her volunteer in a hospital for the summer and it's a life changing experience for them.

All three of the Angels in Pink books, were absolutely amazing! I have read so many books, but this is my all time favorite! It was an emotional roller coaster ride, and I felt like I was in the story going through exactly what they were going through. I laughed when they did, and I cried when they did. They were the best books I have ever read and I cannot wait to go back and read them again!

When Kathleen and her friends, (Holly and Raina) sign up to be in a program for a hospital, (Pink Angels) Kathleen is in for a ride. As working in the hospital she meets a guy named Carson. He is cute, flirty, and funny. Want to know more? You're just going to have to read the book.

You can actually learn about some health issues from this book which is great. Carlon sound like a stuck up rich boy but he only shows Kathleen his other side. Kathleen struggles to have a life and help her mother who has a health condition.

This book was recommended to me from a friend.Reading this book reminded me of what what I did during the summer of my sophomore year and the things my best friends did during the same summer. The book is about three best friends who spend their summer volunteering at this hospital. Even if my best friends and I did different things, we experienced new things like the girls in this book. I spend the summer in Florida. One of my best friends spent the summer in China, while the other spent it in

This is a book I saw other people read so I decided to read it too! I should have read it when I was a sophomore because the protagonist is a sophomore. I could relate to her because I have to do community service too! The main character, Kathleen, volunteers at the hospital with her friends. She actually likes to volunteer unlike some people who do it for graduating. At the volunteer, she meets a guy and she starts to like him. In every teen book, they add some kind of romance in it because it
