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, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda.an upscale New York gallery.a downtown dumpster.a Texas ranch. Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, it also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love." - from the rear cover "I had a dream last night," Deborah Hall told her husband. "A wise man who changes the city. I saw him." She gazed at him warily, as if afraid he might think she was losing her mind. Ron Hall knew better. His wife was the sanest person he knew. "You saw the man in your dream?" Yes," she said cautiously. "I saw his face." It was the face of a homeless man who came to the shelter where they served meals once a week. A street bum who refused to sleep inside or talk to anyone at the shelter. An angry, dangerous loner who frightened everyone he came in contact with. His name was Denver Moore. And this is his story, told in his own voice. It's the tale of a man who grew up in virtual slavery, picking cotton for "the man" as late as the 1960's. A man who never attended a day of school, never was paid for his years of back-breaking labor, who saw surviving on the streets as a step up in life. And never dreamed he'd be friends with an SUV-driving, Starbucks-sipping white man. This is Ron Hall's story too, told in his voice as well. An upscale art broker with an eye for a masterpiece and a nose for a deal, he'd shot like a rocket from selling soup to selling Picassos and Van Goghs. At home in Hollywood haciendas, Soho galleries, and European castles, he never expected the next chapter of his life would be written in an inner-city homeless shelter. Or that a street person's fierce loyalty and uncanny spiritual insight would carry him through the most painful time of his life. And of course it is Debbie Hall's story; a gutsy woman of deep conviction. It was her compassion and persistence that brought them together, her vision that transformed an inner city and eventually brought hope to thousands. The true-life tale of two men and a remarkable woman, it's also a story about true life - gritty, down to earth, often wrenching, ultimately hopeful, always surprising. It's a story you can believe in.". Signed by Author(s).
