Book Description

August 1994

Emily Hall has not seen Michael Hamilton since the day she told him she'd decided to marry another man. Ryan Hall's membership in the Church was enough to make Emily's decision clear, and she married Ryan in the temple. A decade and three children later, she finds herself enduring marriage to an inactive and insensitive husband. She relies on the Spirit to help her cope, but life is not easy. Then Michael--a handsome, wealthy, nonmember Australian, reappears in her life and creates a maelstrom of emotion that she can't ignore.

Michael has never married or joined the Church, and he is still in love with Emily. He begs her to leave Ryan and join him in Australia, and her deep feelings for him add fuel to her torment. Will her temple marriage prevail, or will the promise of happiness with Michael sweep her into his arms? With several unexpected twists and turns, this is a story that will hold your rapt attention to its last word.

First Love and Forever is romantic fiction at its best, written especially for Latter-day Saints who enjoy a great love story that is believable, thought-provoking, and uplifting.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!, August 22, 2002
By 
Jill Clay (Hinckley, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Love and Forever: A Novel (Paperback)
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 Forever
2 - First Love, Second Chances
3 - Now and Forever
4 - By Love and Grace
5 - A Promise of Forever
6 - Home for Christmas
7 - Return to Love
8 - To Love Again
9 - When Forever Comes
10- A Christmas Melody
11- For Love Alone
12- The Gable Faces East
13- The Three Gifts of Christmas
14- Gables Against the Sky

Anita 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, it left me wanting to read more., July 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: First Love and Forever: A Novel (Paperback)
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!

This review is from: First Love and Forever: A Novel (Paperback)
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.
