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.

From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas comes a reader-favorite story of a life, a legacy and a love that has the power to change a community. Originally published in 2005. Everyone assumes that Rosa Lee Altman lived a life without passion. Her once-beautiful home now sits silent and empty, its gardens overgrown and its windows boarded up, surrounded by what passes for progress in Clifton Creek, Texas. And if some of the townsfolk have their way, this idyllic reminder of times past will be sold off to the highest bidder, despite its rich history. When a group of community members with little in common is chosen to decide the fate of the old Altman place, they soon learn that this home is more than bricks and mortar. No one is prepared for what they discover beneath Rosa Lee’s overgrown roses—or how her legacy will change not only their town, but their very lives.
