Merry Go Round - Poconos Life, #5

Annie Marino was a beaten woman. She was literally beaten by her husband, who had left her battered and bruised by the side of the road. She felt beaten by life as well. Walking by the side of the freeway on A Dark and Stormy Night she hoped to be struck by lightning and die on the spot. Instead she was offered a ride by The Phantom of the Pickup Truck, with his staring eye and his misshapen mouth and his scarred face and body.
He brought her to The Old Dark House, with its howling, slavering dogs, to step into... A life of utter normality. In the moldering home of her childhood friend Martin and his daughter she found a refuge from her Princess life with her handsome Prince Charming husband, Frank. Robbed of everything she had, she restarted her life from scratch, finding friendship, good humor, new strength, and even having fun.
Then the Marino family reached out, to try and pull her back into her old life. Annie had taken vows when she married. Did her husband's breaking his vows to love, honor, and cherish relieve her of her own marriage vows? If Frank was trying to reform was she obligated to give him the chance?
