In the aftermath of September 11, a grieving city searches for heroes.
Elizabeth Allen, a journalist trapped in a violent marriage, is searching for a story big enough to change her life. Drawn to the portrait of a firefighter lost in the attacks, she sets out to tell the story behind the public tributes and headlines. What begins as a quest for professional success becomes a deeply personal journey into the lives of those left behind.
As Elizabeth uncovers stories of love, sacrifice, abuse, loyalty, and loss, she finds that heroism is rarely simple and that the people we admire most often carry hidden truths. Weaving together the voices of survivors, families, and ordinary New Yorkers, A Good Man is a moving novel about friendship, resilience, and the courage required not only to face tragedy, but to transform a life.
What makes a good man- and who gets to decide?
