Frankie Byrne Tennyson stunned everyone when she decided to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps. Now --- after bravely serving her country in Iraq --- she's finally come home. Home to a husband whose lingering feelings of abandonment make her wonder if their lives can ever be the same. Home to a daughter whose painful encounters with bullies can only be healed by a mother's love. And home to a father who still can't accept his daughter's decision to serve in spite of his own stellar career as a brigadier general. But the most difficult part about coming home lies within Frankie herself. To save everything she holds dear, she must face the toughest battle of her life...

A moving portrait of a modern American family, WHEN SHE CAME HOME reminds us that some things --- honor, acceptance, and, above all, love --- are truly worth fighting for.
