Mary Jo and Bill Carrico met in Germany and returned to the U.S. in 2004 to marry and settle down in Jeffersonville, IN. Because of a desire to get involved in their community, Mary Jo felt moved to document their trials and tribulations in this book. As a novice author, Mary Jo wishes to share how an average citizen can get caught up in historic preservation by reaching out. Think of all the historic buildings that could be saved with a little more confidence and knowledge from reading about their experience.
