Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together
Description
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

Different as Me also is available in Spanish. Read more
