The Proving

De: Beverly Lewis

Narrado por: Christina Moore, Suzy Jackson

Having left the Amish life for the English world, Amanda Dienner is shocked when she learns that her mother has passed and left her Lancaster County's most popular Amish bed-and-breakfast. The catch is she has to run it herself for one year, acting as hostess. Amanda accepts the terms, but coming home to people she left behind won't be easy.

Amish fiction's number one author presents a touching story of perseverance and second chances.

Amanda Dienner hasn't spoken a word to her Old Order mother or twin sister in five years when she receives word that her mother has passed away and left her Lancaster County's most popular Amish bed-and-breakfast. Now an Englisher, Mandy is shocked: Her sister should have been the obvious choice! But because this is all her controlling mother's doing, of course there's a catch, and Mandy soon learns that the farmhouse inn will only truly be hers if she is able to successfully run it for one year.

Mandy accepts the challenge, even though it means returning to Gordonville and the painful memories she left behind at 18. Still, she's determined to prove she is more than capable of running the bed-and-breakfast, no matter that its loyal clientele are expecting an Amish hostess!

The inn isn't Mandy's sole test, however. Rubbing shoulders with her married twin sister reopens wounds that Mandy isn't ready to forgive. And an Englisher guest with a difficult past of her own just complicates matters.

Can Mandy fulfill the terms of her inheritance? Or will this year in Amish country prove a dreadful mistake?

Very nice

Loved all of the story and narration . It was uplifting and
Truthfully filled a place many have been .

Wonderfully written; likable characters; beautiful message

I cried when it ended. It unfolded so slowly and skillfully that before I realized it, I had become attached to the characters and the inn. I truly feel like I have been there and chatted with Mandy and Trina at the kitchen table, and I will miss them. It was calm and slow, no moments of "hold onto your seat" drama, but it left me with the message to take every day as it is and to trust God when things don't go as I expect, and to look for the blessings, which has helped me process the last year of my life. The narrator's voice is not the best for portraying young women, but she is a skillful performer.

💙💜💙💜💙

Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook! Very enjoyable & relaxing to listen to. To be able to forgive is so important in our lives.💜💙💜💙💜.

The proving

This is my first time reading an amish book and I must say it was awesome. yes I would read more of them.

Beverly never disappoints

I’ve read many a Beverly Lewis Amish books. This is no different than any others and kept me able to focus on packing and uplifting as I moved yet again. I loved the performance with the different voices. I’ll continue listening.

Beverly Lewis never disappoints!

This was a nice tale of sisterhood. Interestingly, the two performers speak the name of Ari differently.

Great Read

This was a very well written book as are all her books. You don’t want to stop listening to it. It’s a great read for all ages.

Good story about forgiveness.

Enjoyed the story, but the main narrator, who I think is Christina Moore, makes most of the voices sound similar and sometimes the girls sound like boys. Pay close attention to names. I think Suzy Jackson only narrates the epilogue.

The Proving

This was such a enjoyable book with great Narration. It held me right through to the end wondering what the big decision was going to be. Recommend it very much and will be looking for another Beverly Lewis to add to many of her others I have read in the past.

enjoyed

loved it. I enjoy listening to audible books especially when I am at the gym.
