Biography & Autobiography. Home Design & Déco Nonfictio HTML: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 i

I have loved Erin and Ben Napier since the first time I saw Home Town. I could tell how much they loved and respected each other, I loved that they got to know the home owners before renovating the home, and I love how much they love and respect the history of things. I just feel like they would be amazing friends. The book is completely 100% them. I can hear their voices so clearly when I'm reading. I loved their story! ( )

Thanks Goodreads for the review copy. I really enjoyed reading about Ben and Erin’s lives. My mom loves the show so I plan to watch it next. This couple seems so sweet and creative and awesome. ( )

I have never seen the HGTV show Hometown. I still really enjoyed this memoir about Ben and Erin Napier. The book actually focuses on how each of them grew up, met and fell in love rather than the show. It documents their insecurities, their passions, hopes, struggles, etc.

They both come from small southern towns where family, friendship, community and faith in God is important. The book has a lot of photographs and art sketches done by Erin. Each section is told in their perspective. Both come across as very genuine and loving. Now I am eager to watch their show since I feel like I know them so well! I received a complimentary copy from Goodreads giveaway program. ( )
