Publisher's Description
Built by hand. Built to last. The best dreams start with love. Noell Jett’s home is more than a farmhouse. It’s a testament to overcoming challenges, working side by side with those you love, and learning to say yes to your dreams again and again, even when the world says no. Growing up in poverty, in a family with extremist religious beliefs, Noell Jett knows what it’s like to work hard to survive. When she married Daniel and they began a family together, she discovered the joy of working hard to achieve her dreams. In From the Ground Up, Noell shares the unbelievable story behind her 3,700-square foot custom farmhouse—built by hand and savvy influencer marketing—and the key strategies she learned about never giving up. With beautiful photos, reflections questions, and Noell’s trademark DIY tips, From the Ground Up offers a vision for living beyond the confines of your past, inspiration for home renovation on a budget, tricks to make influencer marketing work for you, spiritual insight into finding true freedom, and encouragement to take that life-changing leap of faith. From the Ground Up is a powerful reminder that following your passion is worth a few sacrifices along the way. After all, some dreams are worth giving it all you’ve got. Why not follow yours?

“Noell Jett didn’t learn by sitting on the sidelines of life just hoping, dreaming, wishing, or praying (although she did all those things). Noell Jett learned by doing; she dug her hands in the dirt and she wasn’t afraid to fail. In fact, Noell wasn’t afraid of anything. Her hard-earned life lessons are beautifully and powerfully told in From the Ground Up. With grit and determination Noell and Daniel overcame seemingly impossible challenges. Their heart-warming story just may inspire you to see life’s challenges in a new light.”
“I first found Noell on TikTok and was immediately captivated by her posts! Noell’s story is so inspiring, an absolute must-read! An amazing love story between a family and their home.”
“I started following Noell because I felt such a parallel to our similarities. Family, Jesus, homeschooling, and creating a home of purpose for those we loved. Her strength and endurance through her hardships has only made her story that much more compelling. She truly represents the American dream and this book empowers all women to be the best they can be.”
“Noell is an overcomer and continues to inspire me (and all of her followers) daily. From the Ground Up is a timeless story of overcoming insurmountable obstacles and is sure to inspire others to take action and build the life of their dreams.”
“I just adore Noel! I came across her social media account one day while browsing online and was immediately drawn in to her world. She has overcome so much and has brilliantly harnessed the power of social media to make her dreams come true. Her inspiring story will empower you to stop letting your past hold you back and explore the dreams you’ve been putting off in your own life. Love this book!”
