If your dying son asked you to become a very good man, and you weren’t, what would you do? John Tatum’s answer is to attempt suicide. This makes no sense to psychiatrist Rose Sacare. After all, as a vice president for Hamilton Pharmaceuticals, Tatum had just launched Multi- Zan, a drug that puts multiple sclerosis into remission. Dr. Sacare personally champions Tatum’s recovery until his secret acts of bravery and generosity earn him the media’s title of the “Hero of the Homeless.” As Tatum heals and the magnitude of his good deeds mounts, his feelings for Rose grow as well, and he once again believes that happiness is within reach. Why, then, will he not reveal his true identity to his growing crowd of admirers. And why do his coworkers at Hamilton fear for his complete recovery? A story of loss and redemption, “A Very Good Man” confronts the moral issues of our times, and challenges the reader to think about what they would do to make the world a better place if given a second chance.
