A Time of Proving by Alena Mentink was such an uplifting read. I absolutely adore close siblings, and this book was chock-full of them. I was so drawn into the story I wanted more details on how certain things came about, or how certain aspects of the story went that wasn't explicitly detailed.
If you love Godly writing, books with a beautifully developed theme, sweet and gentle clean romance, adorable kids, small towns, and adventure, A Time of Proving is for you!
A Time of Proving was both a sweet and enjoyable read with strong underlying themes of family, homecoming, perseverance, hope, and forgiveness being continually developed through the book, with more than a dash of "chuckle-out-loud" humor and mischief added. A Time of Proving will certainly be a favorite re-read of mine.
A Time of Proving is easily read as a standalone novel. I did think, "hmm, I would probably know so-and-so a bit better if I had read the previous books", but I didn't feel like I was missing anything important to the story. However, after meeting the wonderful community of Osceola, I don't believe you will be able to walk away from them and forget about the rest of the series! I am already eagerly awaiting the next book to come!
