Book Description

Publication Date: April 2000

The Powerful and Moving Sequel to The Gable Faces East

It has been nearly two decades since Alexa Byrnehouse and Jess Davies married and started a family, and their twins, Emma and Tyson, have now grown to young adulthood. The Byrnehouse-Davies family is one of the richest in Australia, known for its exceptional handling of horses and abandoned boys. Boys like Michael Hamilton, who seems born for trouble. Still, he holds a special place in Alexa’s heart-and he loves Emma helplessly, hopelessly from a distance as he works in the stables. Will their two worlds, now so far apart, ever come together?

In prose as vivid as the blue Australian sky, author Anita Stansfield expertly fashions a powerful saga of passion, betrayal, forgiveness, and ultimate redemption. In the end, when lives and virtue are threatened, true love and commitment are put into perfect perspective-and a happy ending is guaranteed!

This is the sequil to Gables Faces east. It is about Alexa and Jess Davies 3 kids. The first 3rd of the book is a wonderful adventure with Emma, Lacie and Michael Hamilton. the rest of the book is about personal struggles with everyones past. This is a wonderful book with just the right amount of love, mystery and adventure........ its too bad Anita doesn't write more books like these.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Example of True Love and Enduring to the End!!, October 8, 2002

This review is from: Gables Against the Sky (Paperback)

This book is the sequel to The Gable Faces East. It focuses on Jess and Alexa's twins- Emma and Tyson. They each have their own trials to overcome to live happily ever after- just as we all do. That's why I loved this book and others by Anita. It shows that true, committed, and pure love can overcome anything if two people are working towards it with all they have. It also deals with forgiveness and redemption- which is also a very important value that we all need to apply a bit more often.
I love the Byrnehouse-Davies and Hamilton family and I look forward to Anita finishing the Gables of Legacy series!

This review is from: Gables Against the Sky (Paperback)

I actually picked this book up accidentally and started reading it due to pure boredom, but after the first few pages I was hooked! I've read it 3 times now and I find something new each time. Stansfield captures feelings and actions so vividly...I can't wait to read more about the Byrnehouse-Davies and Hamilton families!
