(58)Same Kind of Different As Me by Ron Hall and Denver Moore

 

A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery.

An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel.

A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream.

A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it.

It begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana . . . and an East Texas honky-tonk . . . and, without a doubt, inside the heart of God. It unfolds at a Hollywood hacienda . . . an upscale New York gallery . . . a downtown dumpster . . . a Texas ranch.

Gritty with betrayal, pain, and brutality, it also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

Same Kind of Different As Me is not a book I would have picked up on my own, but it was a book club selection, so, of course, I read it. And I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.  I love a good redemption story and friendships that survive even the most troubling situations. Denver became more than just a friend to the Hall family, he became family. 

This book is good for anybody who wants a "feel good" type of book or likes non-fiction stories.
