A critically acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller with more than one million copies in print! Now a major motion picture. Gritty with pain, betrayal, and brutality, this incredible true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love. Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped the "Man" in the 1960's by hopping a train. Untrusting, uneducated, and violent, he spends 18 years on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth. Meet Ron Hall, a self-made millionaire in the world of high-priced deals-an international arts dealer who moves between upscale New York galleries and celebrities. It seems unlikely that these two men would meet under normal circumstances, but when Deborah Hall, Ron's wife, meets Denver, she sees him through God's eyes of compassion. When Deborah is diagnosed with cancer, she charges Ron with the mission of helping Denver. From this request, an extraordinary friendship forms between Denver and Ron, changing them both forever. A tale told in two unique voices, Same Kind of Different as Me weaves two completely different life experiences into one common journey. There is pain and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story that readers will never forget. Continue this story of friendship in What Difference Do It Make?: Stories of Hope and Healing, available now. Same Kind of Different as Me also is available in Spanish.

I loved this book. I found this copy in the laundry room of the RV park I live in.
I read the jacket, and when I found in the description that it was about a homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton, I was drawn to the book.
Denver went through some terrible times, lost many people he loved, had a real hard life, but he came through it, and ended up being a messenger for God.
This book is full of grit and pain, betrayal, and an unexpected life changing love.
This is the most inspirational and emotionally gripping story of faith, and friendship I have ever read. It will tug at your heartstrings.
It is a true story that moved me to tears, as two men form a bond of friendship for many years to come.
This a truly a wonderful book that you must read.
Also read: "What Difference Do It Make." The continuing true story of these two men who kept their friendship going through hope and healing.
