Anita Stansfield has been the reigning queen of LDS romantic fiction for more than a decade, although her general market releases have been among her readers favorites. Her work has shattered the stereotypes of romance novels with her trademark ability to combine great storytelling with intense psychological depth as she focuses on the emotional struggles of the human experience. Her novels cover a huge spectrum, from the eighteenth century to the present, from heart warming to heart stopping. Hundreds of thousands of readers agree: Anita Stansfield's characters and the lives they lead are not easy to forget. [from author's website]

From a very early age I have held a strong belief that my gift of storytelling could make a positive difference, not only among the members of the Church, but to the world. It is a thrill to see my work, as well as that of many other LDS writers, spreading out and making a positive difference."
