A Simple Misunderstanding: Corbin's Bend

What happens when the man you vowed to love, honor and obey nearly kills you, then leaves for work as usual? Elly Benson kept telling her neighbors that the bruises she suffered were nothing more than a simple misunderstanding between her and her husband, until she has to be rushed to the hospital with injuries so severe she nearly dies. Jerry Douglas does everything he can to protect and care for her and her small toy poodle, but until Elly is ready to admit the truth of her husband's abuse, he is powerless to intervene. Unfortunately, he's fallen in love with the feisty young woman, so he uses all his powers of persuasion to convince her returning to her husband once she leaves the hospital is not a viable option.
