Bob Cox writes;
Nita Stansfield considers herself a spiritual writer, and others have called her a pioneer of Mormon fiction for her ability to construct chaste but romantic novels that have moralistic lessons that appeal to conservative readers.
But her longtime publisher, Covenant Communications Inc., has refused to pick up her latest book, arguing “The Captain of Her Heart” includes offensive material inappropriate for a Christian audience.
Covenant, which has published all 25 of her books, refused to back the romance novel because its protagonist has premarital sex, Stansfield said. And two major Mormon book retailers have said they won’t stock the book even though Stansfield created her own company to publish the book.
