The Storekeeper's Daughter, by Wanda E. Brunstetter, is book one in her Daughters of Lancaster County series. Naomi was content with her life in the Amish community of Pennsylvania, but her role in the family has changed since the sudden death of her mother. She now tends to her siblings while working everyday with her father in the family store. The long hours at the shop, the responsibilities of home, the inability to be courted by a gentleman in the community, and her father's unnapreciative behavior has put a strain on Naomi's spirit. Then one day, Naomi makes a mistake that will cause her to question herself and her family's need for her.

Though labeled as a Christian romance, this story is more about forgiveness and family relationships. Brunstetter has constructed a story that shows how love and forgiveness heals wounds and brings family and friends together amid tragedy. The characters are well defined and the audience is able to witness the emotions of the main characters. The author has kept the spirit of the Amish while being able to develop characters who exhibit different attitudes within the community. Wanda Brunstetter has written a well rounded novel that has set a good foundation for the upcoming books in this series.
