Publisher Description
With The Telling, Christy Award-winning author Beverly Lewis delivers the stirring conclusion to her New York Times best-selling Seasons of Grace trilogy. As an Amish young lady leaves Bird-in-Hand in a fancy car to search for her mother in Ohio, she wonders if her mom really wants to be found. She also hopes her Englisher friend-determined to forgo traditional medicine-can find the healing she seeks. But she has no idea her mom is following clues of her own.

"I figured out where the plot was going in book 2 of this trilogy and since then had been wanting to read book 3. This is because I enjoy the journey sometimes as much as the destination. I also had a major concern about one of the characters. Would we get a happy or sad ending? I'm not going to tell you what happened, don't worry. What I will say is that I could not put this book down because I didn't just want to find out, I NEEDED to find out. Thank you, Beverly Lewis, for another wonderful trilogy with a satisfying conclusion."

" easy read...good series. "
— Darcy, 2/18/2014 -
" This is a follow-up to "The MissingIt is equallt as good IF you like Amish books and I do. Although it seems as if their lives are so simple ... the have problems just like every else. "
— Barbara, 2/9/2014 -
" I found this book to be a little predictable and slower moving than book two. That being said I really enjoy reading about the simple and profound life of the Amish and Beverly Lewis does it very well. "
— Mary, 1/29/2014 -
" Satisfying (albeit expected) ending to a enjoyable trilogy. "
— Karen, 1/28/2014 -
" This book made me think a lot about repenting and forgiving. The forgiving part seemed to come so easily to these Amish characters. It made me want to work more on forgiving others so readily. "
— Rachel, 1/23/2014 -
" Not my fav Lewis series. But still a decent time-passer. "
— Jessica, 1/19/2014 -

" My hunches on how the series would end were right, but it was still very worth the read. "
— Beckie, 10/15/2013 -
" I loved this series. That is all I have to say cause that really sums it up. "
— Danielle, 10/13/2013 -
" The final book to her Seasons of Grace series. A bit drawn out, but I enjoy reading her books as they put me in a relaxed, life-slowed-down, mood. Her books are quick reads. "
— Elaine, 9/19/2013 -
" I had already guessed the ending, but the "getting there" kept me turning the pages to see how it all worked out. Loose ends were wrapped up, but not so tightly that another book or series couldn't be started from a few of the looser ends. Hint, hint. "
— Nancy, 9/18/2013 -
" This book was a little too drawn out for me. She could have shortened up what happened in this book and put it at the end of the second book, The Missing. Then everything that was of any interest was rushed at the end. "
— Nikki, 4/28/2013 -
" I read this in 3 sittings! I can not wait to read the next one!! "
— Alicia, 12/22/2012 -
" This book and the two before it, speak of a simpler time, when doing everything to praise God was the primary goal. It reminded me of the '50's, when I was a child. This is an excellent book. "
— Sharon, 10/24/2012 -
" Yeah...so I enjoy semi-cliche Amish books. ;) "
— Sonia, 5/25/2012 -

" Liked the book, but very predictable. Held my interest. "
— Carol, 1/4/2012 -
" A satisfying, if admittedly obvious and totally conventional and expected conclusion to this trilogy. (But that should not deter those who like this series; the conclusion was rather obvious from book 1). "
— Jenna, 10/31/2011 -
" I have waited for this last "chapter" in the Grace series since I knew it was coming out. Reading Beverly Lewis' books is like revisiting friends. Thank you so for this series of three. I would recommend them to anyone. My heart rejoiced! "
— Suzanne, 9/10/2011 -
