Charles Ramsey, the man who famously put aside his Big Mac to help rescue three women held captive in a Cleveland house for nearly a decade, has signed a contract to publish his memoirs.
The book will be co-written by a former U.S. Senate staff speechwriter who co-wrote "Day of the Dawg" with former Cleveland Browns defensive back Hanford Dixon, Randy Nyerges.
"What you saw on TV doesn't even begin to tell the story," Ramsey said in the company's announcement of the signing.
The book will be about Ramsey’s life before the rescue, the time he served in prison, and living next to Castro’s house. He will also write about the day the three women were rescued and his life after becoming famous.
"Charles says outrageous things, but what a story he has," Nyerges said. "America doesn't know yet how truly brilliant this guy is."
"He's completely unfiltered," Gray said, according to The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer. "I think that's part of his appeal. He says what he thinks.
The 44-year-old heard screaming from Castro's Seymour Avenue house next door to his on May 6. He ran over and helped a woman who said she was Amanda Berry escape through the front door, and called 911.
Seeing a white girl in that situation was "a dead giveaway" that she was either homeless or had other problems, he said.
"When a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms, something was wrong," he said.
The book is currently untitled and is scheduled to come out in 2015.

Right after the rescue, he told the press that he wouldn't accept a reward; the reward belonged to the girls.
Mr. Ramsey did the right thing for the right reasons that day, instead of turning a blind eye. Plus, I think he's really amusing.
He was the good guy in this case and I'm happy for him getting more exposure and some financial gain from the whole thing.
