An inspiring true story
One quality of an effective writer is the use of voice. The strength and passion of Sadie's twelve year old voice shines through from the very first page of Better Angels. She brings to life her experience of being diagnosed with childhood cancer at the age of seven in a way that allows the reader to identify with every detail of her journey. She does not tell her story to invoke pity, but to share the reality of how having cancer has led her to finding the angels that have blessed her along the way. Sadie's story is one of courage,hope, and inspiration to be enjoyed by readers of all ages.

Sadie reminds us that life is not measured by years but the people you touch.
I could not put this book down and was so inspired by this story of a brave little girl that turns her fight with cancer into advocacy. She reminds us of the real story - 'Most of us measure our lives in years. When we get sick - from cancer, from whatever - doctors and nurses do all they can to give us more years. I want more years, all I can get. But that's not the only measure of a life. How much you live isn't all about the years, but about the people you touch, the difference you make, and the joy you bring to others.' Sadie is transparent and vulnerable in sharing here story of how her life as she knew it was forever changed through her diagnosis and fight with childhood cancer and now she is forever changing what is possible for kids in the future.

Definitely a must read
Such a powerful book to read. Sadie shares her journey and shows us that angels are truly around us at all times. We could all learn a lesson from Sadie, she took a horrible situation and made some amazing changes in the world and still does. A powerful voice for childhood cancer fighters.

Incredible Insight!
I just finished reading "Better Angels." I am proud to be able to say that I have met Sadie Keller!! "Better Angels" is beyond incredible. I can't begin to imagine all that the Keller family has gone through, but Sadie's book is so concise, poignant, informative, and thought-provoking. Who would have been able to predict the impact that her life would make on so many people? My favorite quote is at the bottom of page 152. "How much you live isn't all about the years, but about the people you touch, the difference you make, and the joy you bring to others." Sadie is one great big bundle of joy!! You MUST read this book!
