Homecoming

A year ago, Jessica Martin was a girl who had it all. She was beautiful and popular. Her grades were top-notch. She even had the coveted position of flyer on the Cedar Grove High School cheerleading squad. Life was good for Jessie, and she was only a sophomore. But a lot can happen in a year. In the last year, Jessie has faced trials unlike anything she has ever experienced before. Jealousy, rivalry, and manipulation led to a series of events that changed Jessie's life forever and left her, and her reputation, in the worst possible shape. Now all Jessie wants is to be a normal high school girl again. She tries to start fresh at a new school in a new town, determined to make this school the home she always wanted. But things happen that make it impossible for Jessie to forget the past. She feels lost, doesn't know where to turn, and fears that history is destined to repeat itself. In Homecoming—A Story of the Power of Faith and Forgiveness, Jessie learns that with God's help and the power of forgiveness, she doesn't have to hide from her past. A supportive youth group, a loving mother, and a very special youth pastor show Jessie that life in her new home can be different from the life she knew before. New author Tom Holbrook, drawing from personal experiences, demonstrates the worst and the best high school and church have to offer and reveals how the rediscovery of faith changes several interconnected lives, giving the gift of hope to a town, a school, and a church.
