The Storekeeper's Daughter

Christina Moore ably narrates this fascinating story of suspense, love, and faith among the Amish. Her crisp rendition includes a slight Pennsylvania Dutch accent. The story revolves around the Fisher family, particularly 20-year-old Naomi, who is left to care for seven siblings after her mother dies. Her embittered father overloads young Naomi with cooking, cleaning, child care, and helping in the family store. When her baby brother Zach is kidnapped, the blame falls upon Naomi for not being attentive. This dramatic story has some surprising twists. Moore projects a strong emotional tone in her delivery, bringing the listener right into the story. This is an inspirational novel that comes to a satisfying end. N.L.
