The Glorious Prodigal by Gilbert Morris

His Musical Gifts and Good Looks Draw Him Into a Life Where His Character Cannot Sustain Him.

When young Leah Freeman attends the Fourth of July dance, she falls in love with Stuart Winslow, a dashing young man and gifted musician. Despite misgivings about his character and a warning from her pastor, Leah accepts Stuart's proposal and marries him. Not long after their marriage, Stuart falls back into his old ways. Leah's love for him is severely tested when he's arrested and sent to Tucker Penitentiary.

The years in prison take their toll on Stuart, until one day in the confines of his cell, he faces his deplorable life and comes to faith. Though he yearns for forgiveness and reconciliation with his family back home in Lewisville, Stuart faces the possibility that Leah may never be able to trust or love him again.

When a man bent on revenge confronts his family, Stuart must make a difficult choice that could cost him deeply. Will the peril that surrounds them prevail, or will Stuart and Leah learn the secret of true love?
