The Storekeeper's Daughter - (Daughters of Lancaster County) by Wanda E Brunstetter (Paperback)

I felt so sorry for Naomi Fisher during much of this book. Her mother died as a result of a tragic accident and suddenly Naomi was given the responsibility of being a mother figure to her seven siblings, including a two-month old little boy! So much to handle and then, another event caused by her error in judgement caused Naomi to question her self-worth and her place in the family! Author Wanda Brunstetter has created some memorable characters. Over-burdenened Naomi, her very strict and sometimes harsh father Abraham Fisher and the young man who had known Naomi since childhood and now wanted to court her. My compassion for Naomi was matched by my frustration with her father. Yes, I knew that he was grieving but he was extremely hard on Naomi. It was at the end of the story that I understood that his grief was matched by his dissatisfaction. He himself had never truly enjoyed being a storekeeper because he longed to work the land and suddenly I could offer him more sympathy! "The Storekeeper's Daughter" is the first book in the Daughters of Lancaster County series. I checked it out from my public library and I look forward to reading the others in the series.

The Storekeepers Daughter is the 1st in the Daughters of Lancaster County series. The Uplifting story about faith,love, family and the , simple life. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and experiences the journey with them
