Glaze & Grace - Grace Layne

Glaze & Grace is a deeply moving novel about grief, healing, family, and the hidden beauty revealed through life's fires.

When twenty-one-year-old Noah Mitchell leaves the mountain pottery cottage that shaped his life, he travels to rural Georgia to help a struggling retreat center after the sudden death of its founder. What he finds is a family shattered by loss, a workshop filled with unfinished work, and a teenage girl furious at God, the clay, and everyone trying to help her heal.

As broken families continue arriving at the retreat carrying silent wounds, Noah discovers that Georgia's red clay behaves nothing like the clay back home. It fights the wheel. It resists control. Yet hidden within the iron-rich earth is something unexpected - veins of gold that only appear after the fire.

Through pottery, grief, laughter, shattered expectations, and the slow rebuilding of trust, Glaze & Grace explores the truth that the fire does not create beauty - it reveals what was already there.

Rich with unforgettable characters, emotional depth, and powerful spiritual themes, this inspiring novel reminds readers that imperfect people can still become beautiful vessels in the hands of the Potter.

Perfect for readers who enjoy Christian fiction filled with faith, redemption, family relationships, emotional healing, and heartfelt storytelling.
