Description: An Ordinary Hero, as the rest of the Overlap series, is a story of involuntary time-travel, it's travelers conscripted by Time either to accidentally set the past in stone or correct the outcome of one of life's minescule, yet crucial, events to come.  This installment of the Overlap series has the reader bouncing back and forth in time to assure the born are born, lives which were intended to remain do remain, the dead may finally rest in peace, the criminal responsible for deaths during Vietnam is brought to justice, and lives destined to save other lives simply by their presence are kept in place.  An Ordinary Hero's epic spans 4 generations and more than half a century.  The only tools keeping the travelers, their friends and family on the right road, life's pre-chosen path, are the traveler's wits, their gut, their presence of mind to act in the moment without a moment's hesitation, plus a story and legend, passed thru the ages to help them along as guide dog in the dark of Time - difficult to navigate as it comes with "no instruction book".  

An Ordinary Hero is simply the story of family, friendship, the hardships of war - of coming home, the love of a good woman, and oh so flawed creatures becoming better friends, better men and women.  How does one turn flaws into the virtues of a hero? Only Time will tell.  (Hint: Heroes wear uniforms, just not always the one you'd expect.)
