The Proving by Beverly Lewis is the next delightful novel by this author. Amanda Dienner had grown up as a twin to Arie. It was a very good life and she enjoyed it immensely and could not imagine any other life but to marry her beloved Josiah and live forever in the same community. That was until she caught Arie and Josiah kissing and that was after catching them joking together many times. But that was 5 years ago, and Amanda had left the community and was living 'English' in her own apartment in Kansas with a job she loved. When she got word from her brother that her mother had died and that she had been left the family home turned Bed and Breakfast at the same time as she lost her job it seemed that the sale of the home might help ease her financial problems but the stipulation was that she had to successfully run the Bed and Breakfast for a year in order to own it. Could she return home to run the business as her mother's will demanded?
She accepted the challenge and returned to Lancaster county and started to run the business but first off she fired her sister Arie. Then the rest of the staff slowly one by one quit. Finding herself run ragged she prayed for help and it came in the unlikely form of an irritating strong willed customer who didn't even want to be guest at the Bed and Breakfast. These two unlikely strong willed women learn to work together and even mend fences between the Amish in the community and Amanda.
Read this book if you love Beverly Lewis books-since this is a good one, read this book if you love Amish fiction, read this book if you love Christian love stories, but most of all read this book is you love to read. Ms Lewis is a great author and I always love to read her books.
I received this book from BethanyHouse for this review.
