She's spending the twelve days of Christmas in an Indianapolis hospital, while her mother is thousands of miles away on a honeymoon with husband number five.

Now she's stuck in the hospital, alone.Then Leah meets her hospital roommate, a young Amish girl named Rebekah, and her big family. Cynical sixteen-year-old Leah has never known people like this before. From Rebekah's handsome brother, Ethan, who can barely look Leah in the eye, to her kind older sister, Charity, the Amish family captivates Leah with its simple, loving ways. When Leah receives frightening information about her condition, her new friends show her that miracles can happen. And that sometimes angels appear in the most unexpected places.

BOOK REVIEW
Angels Watching Over Me is a very touching story about a cynical teenager, Leah Lewis-Hall. She is a very misfortunate person. She has enough on her mind already with her mom on her honey moon with husband number five, just when she is reluctantly sent to the hospital with a broken finger, but comes to find out that she is diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, or bone cancer. Just when Leah thinks that all is lost, she meets her new roommate, Rebekah Longacre, an Amish girl who Leah befriends, and soon meets her sister and brother, Charity, who she also befriends, and Ethan, who she becomes more than friends with. Leah begins to learn more about the Amish culture and their ways. She sees how different they are from her and her family and the tings that make them so unique, how plainly they dress with just an occasional pair of blue jeans, how their traditions prevent them from owning electronics, but most importantly how they despise most people like Leah, and outlaw themselves from the rest of the world, how their cultures separate the two groups. Besides the friendly and caring nurses, one who Leach believes is an angel, Leah manages to like the Longacre family and she becomes really attached to them. It breaks her heart when she finds out that Rebekah is healed and they have to sign out, even though she is happy for Rebekah to be well. To find out if Leah can handle all the stress and misfortune in her life, you will have to read the rest of this wonderful, heartwarming, story.
