Every year, three men stand at the back of the same room and listen to the same band play. A father and his two sons. Nobody says much. They don't need to. A Good Man is a son's tribute to his father - a country boy who grew up on a farm at the end of a road that shared the family name, ran off with the travelling show for the best summer of his life, and became the kind of man the world runs short of. A young dad who got down on the floor and stayed. A husband who lost more than his share and never once went hard about it. A mentor trusted so completely by the people the world had given up on that he could make them laugh. A grandfather with a houseful of kids climbing on him. Told with warmth, honesty, and a dry Australian humour, it's the story of an ordinary life lived with extraordinary decency - and one son's attempt to answer the only question that matters: how do you get to be that good, and stay that honest, across a whole life? "If you make a promise to your kids, you have to keep it."
