My latest review for Blogging For Books is here!
I was thrilled to get the new book by Beverly Lewis, The Proving. Beverly is one of my favorite authors of Amish fiction. I got right down to reading.
The Proving starts with Mandy, a former member of the Amish, who has become estranged from her family and finds out that she must return to help run the family Bed and Breakfast after her mother dies. At the same time, a young 'Englisher' in Minneapolis, Trina, becomes dissatisfied with her life and decides to sign up for a mystery trip which places her at the Butterfly Meadows Inn - to her dismay.
Mandy has a past with her twin sister involving a betrayal by a man-a man Arie Mae is now married to!- and Mandy fires her from the inn in spite. Now, Mandy finds herself running the inn without any help and it's more than she can handle, until Trina turns up on her doorstep. At first, she finds Trina too brash, but eventually they become friends.
The plot has a fun twist by adding an outspoken Englisher into the mix because her ways are so different from Mandy's. I liked the contrast between the two personalities. The book was an enjoyable read through and through. Great for everybody who is a fan of the Amish, Beverly Lewis never fails in this genre.
