THE PROVING
After five years as an Englisher, Amanda Dienner is shocked to learn her mother has passed away and left her Butterfly Meadows, Lancaster County's most popular Amish bed-and-breakfast. What's more, the inn will only truly be hers if Mandy can successfully run it for twelve months. Reluctantly, Mandy accepts the challenge, no matter that it means facing the family she left behind - or that the inn's clientele expect an Amish hostess! Can Mandy fulfill the terms of her inheritance? Or will this prove a dreadful mistake?
My Review:
Classic Lewis. There's an old-fashioned flare to her storytelling and reading one of her books always makes me feel like I'm sitting in a cozy kitchen listening to a story being told by an elderly Amish woman as she looks back on her life and imparts wisdom to her young listeners.
In The Proving (great title tie-in) Lewis explores the complicated dynamics of estranged sisters. Forgiveness is at the heart of this story -- and the freedom letting go of past hurts can bring. Mandy's on a year long journey of self-discovery as she comes to terms with her past and finds a new strength in her faith and family.

DeleteThank You Kav. :)
DeleteI started out my love of Amish being introduced to Beverly through the pages of her books. I know I can always find a great story with her name on the cover. This one really piques my interest! I like the fact it has an old-fashioned flare to it :-)

DeleteSorry, I forgot to leave my email address.
This would be a great place to start for sure. Good luck, Cindy.
DeleteI have found Beverly's books to be good stories, although I have only read a few. This one sounds to have many layers. Interesting setting - an Amish Bed and Breakfast. We have stayed at bed and breakfast lodgings several times, in historic areas, but never at an Amish lodging. Brought home a great cookbook compiled by the owner of one establishment! Thanks for the review and opportunity to participate! dobeworld at sbcglobal dot net
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard Amish Inns and Bed and Breakfasts are some of the best in the business. I sure would love to stay at this one. Good luck, CC.

The author does a really good job with this theme. You can thank my library, rubynreba, they got this one on the shelves super fast since it's a fairly new release. I grabbed it up. Good luck!
DeleteOOOOO this sounds SO good! :) I'm a long time Lewis fan and can ALWAYS curl up with one of her reads! ;)

DeleteHugs, ASC
This book might be able to give me some insight into my own estranged sister...I've tried just about everything else. Seriously. Thanks, Kav.
