Like millions of men who muddle through the barrens of middle age, Bill Ward was unremarkable in every way. But an extraordinary act of courage unexpectedly shoves him into the public spotlight, exposing him to praise and criticism he couldn’t comprehend. When circumstances require him to intervene again, he responds with uncharacteristic violence that further polarizes perceptions of him. Is he a selfless champion or an out-of-control vigilante? Ordinary Man is the story of a nobody who becomes a hero and what happens in the aftermath. It has action, danger, romance, humor, friendship, family, political intrigue, and perspectives on popular culture, business ethics and society at large. Also lawn care. A fair amount of lawn care. Ordinary Man is the book that the world needs right now. When civility and decency become things that we lose touch with, then an ordinary man who embodies these traits is indeed the hero for our times. Bill Ward reminds us that ordinary things like trying to help others and to find points of connection and agreement can be infectious, spreading outwards to affect entire communities. Funny, warm, and inspiring, this book is chicken soup for the soul in a time of division and strife. -- Reader Review Thanks for your interest in "Ordinary Man." Favorable online reviews are very helpful to first-time authors.
