Secrets of Young Brides #17

This anthology issue contains stories about young married women and their domestic struggles. One story follows a bride whose husband John takes her for an exciting car ride in the rain and kisses her, reminding her of their first kiss, though she later worries she may have imagined seeing someone else. Another story features a woman who visits a lakeside bench where she and her boyfriend Tim used to dream together, only to encounter a stranger with black hair who is actually Tim, though she initially mistakes his identity. A third narrative involves a wife frustrated by her husband Frank's constant absence due to medical emergencies, her loneliness growing as years pass, until Frank finally comes home—only to reveal he lied about his studies because he knew she hated doctors, leading to a tense confrontation in the rain.
