Erintold PEOPLE in SeptemberthatThe Lantern House, which is told from the perspective of a house that watches new owners change and grow, is really a gift for her and her illustratorAdam Trest’s daughters.

“Honestly, I sat down and I wrote that in 30 minutes, the rough [draft],” she said. “It just came very easily to me to tell this story, because it’s a story that I’ve seen a million times in the work we do onHome Town. We’ve renovated nearly a hundred houses. And Ben’s favorite thing to do is to research the history of these houses before we present them as an option to the family. So they know a little about the people that lived there before them.”
