Make Something Good Today

A Memoir

By: Erin Napier, Ben Napier

Narrated by: Erin Napier, Ben Napier

From Ben and Erin Napier, the stars of the hit HGTV show Home Town, comes 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.

Loved it!

I loved this book so much! It made me both smile and brought tears to my eyes. It has given me a fresh perspective on my own life, how I view and live it. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone that just needs to hear “something good”!

Amazing couple with a beautiful story

I love Erin and Ben and their show. But hearing them tell their story has made me love them more. They are a beautiful, humble, down-to-earth couple. They remind you that there are good people in the world and to remember the beauty in the little things in life.

Love this!!

This audiobook was so great! Loved hearing their story! So touching! A must read if you like the show!

Kismet

I rarely review books. Mostly because I am rarely surprised by how much I love a book. Despite the fact that I don’t have a lot in common with the authors, I related to this memoir in a kismet kind of way. I recently bought an old house and the way these two talk about old homes makes me relate on a cellular level. I left this book feeling positive and warm. Anyone who loves small towns, old homes, and loves stories should read this book. It will quickly become one of your favorite stories.

Love them & their show even more now

Love their story and their wonderful outlook on life! A definite must listen! Especially since Ben & Erin read it themselves.
