A great quickie that anyone (but perhaps more girls) can appreciate, especially over dull weekends, or lonely evenings....
I really enjoyed this book because it combined several different elements into one, attention-keeping story: travel, adventure, romance, and sadly, illness. The main character goes to Africa in place of her sister, somewhat unwillingly at first, and ends up falling in love with those she serves there and learns that life is about more than dating the most popular gu More...

The storyline of this novel was unbelievable to me. I get that people change when they go have the adventure of their life, but this novel was almost to cliche for me. In the end, everything was too perfect. No one goes on a religious trip to Africa begrudgingly and within the first day has a complete change of attitude. Sorry. Not real. Also, the writing was too sappy for me. When the characters talked to each other, they didn't sound real. They were too formal and fancy to be family. I didn't

If I were to pick a genre I would probably call this a romance or a coming of age.
The story revolves around two sisters Amber and Heather. Heather is dying (no surprise there) and has desires to return to Africa to help people. Instead, Amber takes her place when Heather is too sick and learns to become a more full person like her ailing sister.
McDaniels writes sweet stories that are kind of boring and predictable (you can predict death in every book). It was just okay to me.

She gets chased by burgulars, falls in love, and learns so many different things about herself. She(Amber) goes through many complications while her sister is dying back in Miami but she has to learn to go on for the children of Uganda. How will she do all of this More...

My first Lurlene McDaniel book. Yeah I know I read the second one first, but my school library didn't have the first one! I know makes no sense. My friend told me about this book and how she loved these two books. She told me what happened in the first one to help me out. I loved this book. Got me hooked on Lurlene McDaniel!!!

Angel of Hope was about how Amber went of Africa to help her sister because her sister want to go back to Africa to the people there was she was diagnosed that she was too sick to go. During the six week stay in Africa, Amber had learned and been through the reason why her sister want to return to Africa.
What I learned from this book is that Amber had found her dream or goal for her life. She also realized that life wasn't something that she took for granted, it is something that she have More...

This book was shockingly good! Way better then expected.
Heather is home from her life changing trip in Uganda.....and wants to go back again.
After her parents agree, she gets sick and can't go but gets her self-consumed sister to agree
to go in her place. What Amber experienced in Uganda....from helping sick, to running for her life...will change the way she thinks forever.
The ending was very unexpected....not often when one of the main characters you learn to More...

Review:
This was a great follow up to Angel of Mercy. The first time I read it, I didn't realize it was a sequel to another book. So I read it again after reading Angel of Mercy.
That being said, I think this book went by too quick. Lurlene McDaniel should have made both Angel of Hope and Angel of Mercy longer. They are both inspirational book with a nice storyline and great characters. I would love to read another book continuing Amber's story.

I've read this back when I was a freshman in High school and I was going to read it again and decided to not read it again since I have books that I'm reading already. Anyways I thought this was really good!! It made me cry at the end, so that meant it was really good!!!

As the sequel to Angel of Mercy, it is a good continuation of the first story, but is also a good departure from the first (you know, instead of a mirror image with detail changes). I like the transformation of the main character from where she is first introduced. I would recommend this book, though it wouldn't make as much sense without reading the first book.
