Amish Fiction's #1 Author Presents a Touching Story of Perseverance and Second Chances

Amanda Dienner hasn't seen her Old Order family 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 twin sister should have been the obvious choice! What's more, the inheritance comes with a catch: The farmhouse inn will only truly be hers if she is able to successfully run it for twelve consecutive months.

Mandy accepts the challenge even though it means returning to Gordonville and the painful memories she left behind at eighteen. 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?

**I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion.**

I really loved The Proving. The drama was juicy, and the way everything played out for the MC and the people around her was well-balanced, like a hearty bowl of soup. The storyline was borderline super predictable, but I consider Amish fiction a feel-good genre, so I personally feel that it's very fitting in this context. If you dislike predictability, you'll probably dislike most, if not all, Amish fiction and should thus find another cup of tea to tickle your fancy.~
