Can she surrender a life of fame and fortune to find true love?
After leaving the small sleepy town of Shelton for the big city, Kayla McCormack struck it big time in the music industry. Her new life gave her everything she needed and wanted… fame, fortune, and fun. She even snagged a famous movie star for a boyfriend.Just one problem – he’s married, and her conservative Christians parents don’t … and her conservative Christians parents don’t approve.
Dane Carmichael has had a crush on Kayla since she performed in the school Talent Show at age ten. Now carrying a war wound, Dane’s life revolves around the group of young teens he mentors at church, instilling in them the importance of remaining pure and following Jesus and not the world.
When Kayla rushes home to visit her father after receiving devastating news, she and Dane reconnect. His simple faith and life fascinate but scare her.
Kayla is challenged to assess her chosen lifestyle, but she’s also harboring a secret. She can’t forgive herself for what she did, so how can she expect God to? As He gently draws her to Himself, molding and shaping her, just like Dane does with his pots, she begins to understand how forgiving, loving and kind He really is.
Let this story of love, hope, and second chances warm your heart and draw you close to the One who loves you without condition.

This isn’t my first Potter’s House book, but it was really enjoyable to go back and read this first one in the series. I really think it sets the tone for what you can expect with hope, love, and redemption. I’ve always liked a rockstar romance. This one, being a female rockstar, was definitely unique. I really enjoyed the characters, their storylines, and the family element.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
The story of Kayla and Dean is very heartwarming. Two people, one famous and lately from Los Angeles and the other from a small town, meet again after many years. God’s love works to bring them together in a special way as friends and eventually as husband and wife. I highly recommend this wonderful Christian romance.
Juliette Duncan has written an excellent story about God’s willingness to forgive anyone who truly repents and receives his love. Since Dane is a potter there are many references to God as the Potter. The characters are well drawn. The story follows Kayla, her family’s black sheep, who returns home (despite the censure she knows she will face) when she learns her beloved earthly father is very ill. Slowly she opens her heart. If you are looking for an excellenet Christian book, be sure you read the Homecoming.
Two different stories : Kayla Mac , a rock singer, from Shelton, live in LA, has a great singer career,Dane, a potter, and a plain helper in Boys Club in Shelton village, in west Virginia.
They were together at school, but their streets and life were different, but love… read the book! enjoy!
An Absolutely Wonderful Book
Kayla is in a bad place, spiritually fighting against God, at the beginning. However, when she gets bad news about her dad’s health, she runs home to be with him, where she meets Dane. She is drawn to his shop, looking for a gift, and finds herself fascinated with him and his pottery. This book drew me in and kept me reading, fascinated with the story; and by the end, I found myself sighing, “Ahhh!” I would recommend it for a good Christian romance story!
I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review, and I have no problem with that at all. In The Homecoming, we are shown that it is possible for a person to come home again, even if they think they don’t want to. Kayla left her home and family to pursue a career no one approves of, and now she is back at least temporarily due to her father’s illness. She is determined to be there for her father, no matter what her mother, the rest of her family and the town think of how she is living her life. She has no use for God in that life, however God has a use for Kayla and uses an old friend to show her the way not only home to her family, but back to God’s family as well. This is a lovely story showing that God truly can use even the imperfect among us.
I received this book as an advance copy.
A sweet clean romance and a spiritual journey between an amazing couple !

The Homecoming is a story of restoration and romance. Read it to find out how the estranged black sheep of the family is redeemed and of the love that grows between Kayla and Dane.
I received an ARC and am choosing to write a review and share my opinion.
Not only a romance but also a story about family relationships and the most important one of all – our relationship with the Lord. Kaylas’ dad and Dane were great christian examples who didn’t condone her life but should her grace and forgiveness. Her mom and siblings irritated me – although they showed growth too. Loved that Dane was a potter and how it was used in the story “the potter and the clay”. forgiveness and reconciliation and a new beginning
I received a complimentary copy of the book but have reviewed it voluntarily.
I received free but this is my unbiased opinion! This is a heart rending story about faith & forgiveness
. A story about God’s great love & forgiveness. Also a story about our judgmental attitudes.
I cried when Kayla’s life got turned around! God does do amazing things when we have faith
& trust in Him & don’t give up on our loved ones not just in this story but in our immediate lives!
He truly does carry us home!
