One Ordinary Man is a historically accurate novel about the inspiring, surprising, and remarkable true story of Harry L. Hopkins—one ordinary man who grew from obscurity to play a leading and pivotal role in helping America overcome the Great Depression, defeat Fascism, and win World War II.

Ordinary Man has received excellent pre-release reviews including from Kirkus Reviews with a “Get It” endorsement: “Vesce…manages to pique reader interest through his passionate dedication to historical detail…. he knows how to spin a good historical yarn. Vesce’s larger-than-life portrait of Hopkins reminds that there really is some truth to the whole ‘Greatest Generation…'” — Kirkus Reviews

One Ordinary Man is a vibrant, witty, and captivating story that is at once, both human and larger than life. A story that captures the times, adversity, and incredible accomplishments of a largely forgotten American hero whose abiding faith in America and its democracy drove him to overcome incredible odds and lift his country up from the darkest depths of its Great Depression to victory in World War II.

There is no surprise ending in One Ordinary Man. The story itself is the surprise. And Hopkins’s story delivers a steady stream of new discoveries about America and his achievements.

He has served as CEO of three pioneering companies, and has given more than a dozen seminars on the people, events, and issues that impacted America leading up to and including World War II.
