Amy Grant Records Exclusive “Home (Layana’s Song)" for R.J. Halbert’s Star-Studded “Caretaker” Audiobook

Amy Grant

Six-time Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant has recorded an exclusive and original song, "Home (Lyana's Song)," an intimate and powerful ballad, as part of the upcoming audiobook for the supernatural thriller Caretaker by R.J. Halbert (both available May 7, 2025 via Novus Press Works). With two versions, an alternate/acoustic track for the audiobook, and another recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, each were produced by Emmy and Grammy award-winning producer Jason Halbert. Amy Grant will join actor Erick Avari and R.J. Halbert on The Kelly Clarkson Show May 7th to perform the song amidst the book's release.

"Home (Lyana's Song)" is written from the perspective of Lyana Keane, a central character in Caretaker, whom Amy Grant also voices in the full-cast audiobook adaptation. The track captures Lyana's longing, resilience, and spiritual anchoring in a world filled with loss, mystery, and redemption.

"This song came straight from the heart of Lyana," said Amy Grant. "It was an honor to help bring her story to life, both through voice and song. 'Home' is about that place beyond grief, where memory, love, and eternity meet."

This moving piece will be featured exclusively as part of the Caretaker audiobook experience, and features a stellar ensemble cast to join Amy Grant, including narrator Henry Ian Cusick, Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Brandon Engman, Charles Esten, Hayley Orrantia, and Michael Shanks.  The audiobook is enhanced with an original score by Joseph Trapanese including full sound design, and foley effects.

Producer Jason Halbert adds, "There was something deeply personal about crafting this song with Amy. It grew naturally from the world we created in Caretaker, and we knew it had to be more than a soundtrack-it had to reflect the emotional journey at the heart of the story."

"Home (Lyana's Song)" will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 7th, and as a featured track in the Caretaker audiobook.

Caretaker has already received widespread acclaim, earning prestigious honors including most recently named a finlist for the Independint Book Publishers Association's coveted Bill Fisher Award.  Previously the book has garnered the Global Book Award, Amazon Best Seller status, and recognition from the International Book Awards, Literary Global Book Awards, Next Best Read, and more. The novel has also been featured on popular platforms including The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chicago Today and Coast to Coast AM.

Available at www.rjhalbert.com on May 7th, 2025, and on major audiobook platforms Summer 2025, this release promises to deliver an immersive and unforgettable journey into the world of "Caretaker."
