A Light In The Window

Caught up in a whirlwind courtship and wedding, Ricky is riding high on her love for her handsome new husband, Court Wayne. But when Court joins the military and ships overseas, she finds herself living a strange new life with her wealthy in-laws. The small-town girl feels out of place, and senses the Waynes' bitter resentment. But Ricky never imagines the depth of their hatred—or the lengths to which the Waynes will go to break up her marriage.
