Public summary

A man whose influence crosses family, neighborhood, union, and military-town lines—and whose methods are easier to label than his reasons.

Earlier character development

Before Wilson knew their name.

Before Wilson made his influence visible, William was already becoming the person his chosen family expected to find a practical way through a bad situation. Providing was not yet a network; it was a habit.
