Paperback. The Colors of HomeHome isn't a place.It's a reckoning.After her husband dies from leukemia, Ebony McMullen packs her three children into an overstuffed Suburban and drives fifteen hours from Colorado to North Carolina-back to the small Southern town her husband once fled without explanation.She's out of money. Out of options.And forced to live in a house owned by the father-in-law, who never wanted her.On the surface, the town is postcard-perfect-church steeples, front porches, Friday night lights. But beneath the magnolias and manners lies something colder.Her oldest son, Owen, burns with anger after legal trouble in Colorado. Scotty clings to the hope that football will help him belong. Destiny-bright, perceptive, and unashamed of her Down syndrome-sees beauty everywhere.But in this town, difference is noticed.A diner waitress asks, "What are you?"A teacher assumes Ebony belongs in the kitchen.A rival father hurls a racial slur under stadium lights.Then someone humiliates Destiny in a calculated act meant to send a message-and the fragile stability Ebony has fought to build begins to splinter.As tensions rise, Ebony discovers that the town's history-and her father-in-law Shane McMullen's past-hold secrets far darker than she imagined. The man who controls the roof over their heads has buried truths that could shatter reputations, expose long-hidden betrayals, and force Ebony to question everything she thought she knew about her marriage.Because nothing here is as it seems.Not the neighbors.Not the past.Not even the story she's been told about why her husband left.When old loyalties collide with dangerous revelations, Ebony must decide whether survival is enough-or if it's time to fight for justice, truth, and a home her children can claim without apology.The Colors of Home is a powerful, emotionally charged novel about grief, race, redemption, and the courage it takes to confront the past.Because sometimes home isn't where you're welcomed.It's where you choose to stand.

The Colors of Home
Home isn’t a place. It’s a reckoning.
After her husband’s death from leukemia, Ebony McMullen loads her three children into an overstuffed Suburban and drives fifteen hours from Colorado to North Carolina—back to the small town her husband once fled.
She’s out of money. Out of options.
And forced to live in a house owned by the father-in-law who never wanted her.
Home is everything she feared it would be.
Her oldest son, Owen, is angry and restless after legal trouble in Colorado. Scotty is desperate to belong on the high school football team. Destiny, bright and tender with Down syndrome, sees beauty everywhere—even where others see difference.
But in Home, difference is noticed.
A diner waitress asks, “What are you?”
A teacher assumes Ebony belongs in the kitchen.
A rival father hurls a racial slur across a football field.
And when someone humiliates Destiny in a cruel act meant to send a message, the family begins to unravel.
Meanwhile, Ebony discovers that the town’s roots run deeper—and darker—than she imagined. Long-buried secrets about Shane McMullen, her rigid father-in-law, threaten to fracture what little foundation they’ve built. And as old wounds surface and new betrayals emerge, Ebony must decide:
Will she keep surviving?
Or will she fight for a home worth staying in?
The Colors of Home is a powerful story of grief, race, redemption, and the courage it takes to rebuild a family in a place that may not want them.
Because sometimes home isn’t where you’re welcomed.
It’s where you choose to belong.

Acerca del autor
Dr. Katherine Hutchinson-Hayes is an editor, author, speaker, podcaster, and educational consultant. She is the production editor for Embolden Media Group and a member of Word Weavers International, serving as an online chapter president and mentor. She belongs to FWA (Florida Writers Association), ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers), CWoC (Crime Writers of Color), AWSA (Advanced Writers and Speakers Association), and AASA (American Association of School Administrators). She serves on the board of the nonprofit organization 540 Writers' Community and is an art instructor for the nonprofit organization Light for the Future in Guatemala.

She contributes regularly to several magazines, blogs, and newsletters.

Her thriller A Fifth of the Story debuted in February 2024 through Endgame Press.
The itch to learn more about the God who saved her motivated Jenifer to switch from pursuing a psychology degree to studying women's ministry. She learned how to dive deep into God's Word while gaining her Bachelor's, but the fountain of knowledge only temporarily satisfied her. With her overactive imagination working nonstop, she jotted down simple stories on notebook paper as she wiped the noses and bottoms of her two toddlers. When her young ones went to school, Jenifer sought to bring her mental movies to life by spending her days hunched over a keyboard, frantically recording the scenes that played in her head. She quickly realized the people described in the Bible were not simply fictional heroes, but everyday people who encountered an extraordinary God.
