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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
