Anita Stansfield

While Stansfield doesn't write exclusively in the LDS romantic fiction genre, her work in that genre has earned her praise for her ability to combine great storytelling with intense psychological depth as she tells of the human experience through the eyes of the LDS community. She also writes her books in a wide variety of time frames as well with novels set in the eighteenth century as well as novels set in the present day. One interesting writing technique that applies is the use of photographs.

The best place to start is the Byrnehouse-Davies & Hamilton Saga series, the earliest of Anita Stansfield's multi-book series: it opens with First Love and Forever (1994) and runs to 8 books across 1994–2000, ending with Gables Against the Sky (2000).
