This story is about a young girl who's mom remarried and she never really cared for her step father until, she found out he had cancer and she realized he was the second most important person to her, next to her mom. The book teaches you that you really don't know till its gone. I know that is a cliche saying but that's the best way to put this book. I enjoyed it very much and I think that other student my age would enjoy it too. I don't think that Mrs. Gallie would enjoy it. I think its more fo

Until Angels Close My Eyes by Lurlene McDaniel is the sequel to Lifted Up by Angels and the last book of the trilogy. Unlike the two prequels, Until Angels Close My Eyes ended in a sad and depressing way of Leah’s (the protagonist) beloved stepfather, Neil’s death by his returned cancerous cells. Leah, who once experienced having caner but was mysteriously “healed”, starts to worry about whether her cancer would come back just has Neil’s did. Having enough to deal with, Ethan wants to find his o

The last book in the Angels Trilogy and the perfect ending. Not saying it was a "perfect ending" but the third book was no doubt as good as the first.
Lurlene McDaniel is an author that every teen should be reading. It shows real life struggles and the way that teens overcome them and come out on top. Even when the ending isn't the one you were hoping for, you are left loving the characters and the books definitely leave an impact on your heart.

I gave this book 4 stars because it was good, but it wasn’t my favorite. It was good because Ethan did find his brother but he left and went back to his Amish community. I also didn’t like what happened to Neil. I have read better books by Lurlene McDaniel. Anyone that likes books by her I think would like to read this book. If you don’t like learning about the Amish people then you might not really like this book.

There were some parts of this book that I really enjoyed; but most of it was just overdramatic blah. Like did she really think her parents wouldn't get upset coming home to find her and the boyfriend camped out in the living room; true, they didn't DO anything, but the look of it wasn't so great.

This is one of my "cry-baby" books as my mother calls them. I sit in the corner of the room and bawl my eyes out when reading. Lurlene McDaniel's books really touch the heart (especially for teenage girls I suppose). She deals a lot with love, pain and loss. I enjoyed "Until Angels Close My Eyes" because despite the story being fiction, McDaniel didn't force Ethan and Leah together. I don't think that their pairing would ever work; it's not meant to work. Ethan's Amish and th

Cute...VERY cheesy. But, I bought it as a used paperback for 50 cents, so it was worth it. I did not realize when I bought it that it was the third book in a series, but it was easy enough to understand. This book was not deep in any way, and it took a few pages to get into.

This book takes a look at the life of amish teenagers. It deals with sick children, death, the choice between family and love. Girly romantic book.

I love the Angels triology by McDaniels. I think this is the first set of books I read by her and feel in love with her books.

This series has just gotten to soap opera-y for my tastes. Leah's step dad has cancer and Ethan makes a big decision.

This book was about Leah and her stepfather, Neil and he has cancer before and no longer in remission. Besides Neil was having health problems that were occurring in the family, Ethan had been invited over by Leah to help find his long lost elder brother. Ethan was struggling between the Amish and the English value.
What I learned from this book was that traditions and family values is very important to one's lives and it is hard to forget about it. Like Ethan, he can't hold back his tradit More...

I remember these being foisted upon me by a friend in middle school who insisted that Lurlene McDaniel was the greatest thing ever. I like the idea of writing true-to-life stories for teens rather than the typical Gossip Girl garbage, but I remember thinking these were ridiculously melodramatic...as a melodramatic teenager.
Still, they have that train wreck quality where you can't look away.

I first read this when I was in the with grade. I'd been reading the series and was so looking forward to the end of it and this was not how I pictured it. Of course I cried. I really loved Ethan.

Leah and Ethan spend time together, until they must part and never see one another again. It is bittersweet and cinematic, and a pretty good ending.

One of very few of Lurlene McDaniel's novels that was worth reading. About a young girl and a young Amish boy that she meets in the hospital.

The last book in the trilogy. I'm not sure I like the twists and turns, but as usual, Lurlene did a great job appealing to the emotions.
