Publisher's Summary

From Ben and Erin Napier, the stars of the hit HGTV show Home Town, comes Make Something Good Today, a memoir that tells us all to seek out the good in life, celebrate the beauty of family and friends, and prosper within our communities because everything we need in life to be happy is within our grasp.

Long before their hugely popular TV show, an expanding family, or demolition day on their dream home, Erin began keeping a daily Online journal to help her stay focused on the positive and count her blessings in life. She never expected that her depictions of small-town life in the tiny swath of Mississippi where she Ben call home would catch the eye of a television producer and set them off on the journey of a lifetime.

Make Something Good Today offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a couple that America has come to know and love for their easy humor, adoring relationship, and ability to utterly transform a place into something beautiful and personal. This is the poignant story of how Erin and Ben took a small, tight-knit town into their own hands (literally) and used ingenuity, community, and authenticity to rebuild a once-thriving American Main Street. And how, by combining Ben’s carpentry skills with Erin’s design eye, Home Town is making it clear to us all that small-town living can feel as big as you make it.

Complete with family photographs, Erin’s hand-painted sketches, and never-before-heard personal stories, this inspirational memoir reminds us all not to give up hope that great love stories are possible, big things can bloom in small towns, and there is always magic in the ordinary if you know where to look for it.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Five of the Best Hours Ever! a must read!!

I thought this would be just a fun little book about designing homes but it was so much more! It was more about how to design your life! About faith, love and hope and living intentially to make your life and world all it should be!

An affirmation

A wonderful reminder and affirmation we are the creator of our own happiness. The narration in the voices of Ben and Erin, their lilting southern tones, their frank wish to share their experiences and help others enables one to absorb the truth and beauty in taking control of your own life. Inspiring and honest, loved it!

Great listen.

Enjoyed the show, but not as much as some other HGTV shows. But these two are magic. Great people with a great story to tell.
Highly recommended.

Their Own Story, Their Own Words!!

When I started watching "Hometown", years ago, Erin and Ben's love for Laurel, their friends, family, and each other just radiates. It was tactile.
I listened to this book 3 times in 10 days and believe it or not I will again and again. It has been a long time since a book has drawn me in to tht degree.

Absolutely Lovely

I have listened to it multiple times and find so much warmth and kindness in their words. They both also have a beautiful way of expressing themselves. Erin especially has such a poetic descriptiveness. Would recommend to anyone looking for a heartwarming read.
