First Love and Forever

I love how this woman writes. She manages to express things I have felt and gives me hope for the future. Her writing is clear, easy to read, full of emotion and yet not sappy. This is the book that hooked me on her writing. You come to love the characters and feel they are part of your family.

I love the story of Michael and Emily Hamilton. This is an outstanding book and one you will have a hard time putting down!One of the things I like best about Anita Stansfield's books is that she keeps bringing back the characters from previous books into the stories of later ones. It feels so good to "check up" on favorite people from former stories.It is, therefore, most enjoyable to read Anita Stansfield's books in a certain order:1 - First Love and Forever2 - First Love, Second Chances3 - Now and Forever4 - By Love and Grace5 - A Promise of Forever6 - Home for Christmas7 - Return to Love8 - To Love Again9 - When Forever Comes10- A Christmas Melody11- For Love Alone12- The Gable Faces East13- The Three Gifts of Christmas14- Gables Against the SkyAnita Stansfield has written other excellent books, but these 14 are somewhat linked because they keep bringing back characters that you grow to love from her previous books.

I could barely put this book down. After the first one it kept me wanting to read on and on about Emily and Michael. It was captivating and I wish there was more books about these two great people. It was very romantic but not disgusting and it involves the church so great and to me Emily has such a great spirit. I prayed for the best for Emily the whole time. It was heart wrenching but happy and it lifted my spirit. I can't wait to read more of her books. Great job Anita!

Just pick up First Love and Forever and you will not be able to put it down until it's finished! It will leave you begging for more! If you are looking for a good book that reflects high mora

I love Anita Stansfield. She is a terrific writer with real talent. My sisters and I have fought over the book to read it, and we have had it since it came out. But we ARE looking for a sequel to By Love and Grace, Anita. Keep up the good work!
