Book Synopsis I Will Do It! by : Joanne Shelby-Klein
Book excerpt: Set against a backdrop of America on the verge of and engaged in Civil War, I Will Do it! is the story of a woman whose patriotism and rugged determination leads her to form the Mount Vernon Ladies Association of the Union, thereby saving George Washington’s home from certain destruction. Overcoming the odds of being a single female, an invalid and a nation torn apart over slavery, she uses her educational background, family connections and unlikely partners to battle the Virginia State Legislature and secure the money to purchase President Washington’s home and grave, Mount Vernon.
