"The Proving" is the newest stand-alone novel by Beverly Lewis. Amanda Dienner is a raised-Amish woman who has left the Amish community due to a betrayal by her sister. Amanda becomes almost completely estranged from her family. After living 5 years in Kansas as an Englisher, she learns her mother has died and left her the B&B that was run by her family. Though confused by the reasoning, Amanda takes over the B&B for the next 12 months.
The novel is of course, a wonderfully well written book, since it is by the queen of Amish Fiction. Amanda is incredibly stubborn and driven. The reader will be either cheering her on or wanting to smack her upside the head! She is a trying woman and Lewis will quickly involve the reader emotionally into the book. I like the direction of this book.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the author and Bethany House Publishing.
