This Will Do... is a gripping story of three young people whose attempts to make a life for themselves are at times misdirected, sometimes self-defeating, and now and again sufficiently successful to make something that "will do."

Ogden's writing is an event to be savored in its own right, at once powerful and tender, richly descriptive and unassuming.
