This book is much like the "Fixer-Upper" TV show that made Chip and Joanna Gaines famous -- wholesome, light, a little bit funny, and no real drama. Die-hard fans of the show will likely love the book. The basic message here is "work hard and follow your dreams. And don't forget that God has a plan for your life". If you like these two, and this sort of message resonates with you, this will be one quick read. Just know that there's not a lot of substance. (

THE MAGNOLIA STORY (2016) is a charming little book about that Fixer Upper couple from Waco, Texas, that we've watched on HGTV for the past several years. All about how Chip and Joanna Gaines, both Baylor grads, met, fell in love, and had a bunch of kids, all while building a business of flipping houses, living on the financial edge. Until they were 'discovered' and landed that TV show. I kinda enjoyed it, except for the fact that it was ghost-written by a professional, Mark Dagostino. I kept wondering, they're both college grads. Why couldn't they write their own story? Probably just too busy. And this book, which sometimes dwells just a bit too much about the hand of God in their success, may be just one more way to publicize their 'brand.' And it worked. The book was a minor bestseller, and NOW their show is only available on a paid subscription channel, while Joanna has just launched a solo cooking show. She seems distinctly uncomfortable in this role; not surprising, as she is a self-described introvert.

I bought this book a few months ago at a library sale for a buck, thinking my wife would like it. She had not picked it up yet, so I read it, in just a few sittings. Not great literature, obviously, but a pleasurable read about a couple okay young folks who have worked hard and got a big break: that popular TV show. If you like their show, you'll probably like this book.

I'm a fan of the show, and I was entertained by the book. Some reviewers talk about the charmed life/privilege/random windfalls of large amounts of cash and the weird relationship dynamics where Chip has a tendency to sell their home out from underneath them and Jo copes -- all of that is true. There's also a LOT of god talk going on in here, which I personally am uncomfortable with. I was still entertained. I still respect their hard work and that their relationship works for them. I'm glad they are using their powers for their community, and I appreciate their down to earth natures. (
