A critically acclaimed #1 New York Times best-seller 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.

Heartbreaking and inspiring, all in one. I really enjoyed reading about their journeys from the perspectives of each man.
Loved it and couldn't put it down. Have a tissue box handy!
The quote that really hit home..
"But I found out everybody's different - the same kind of different as me. We're all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us." -Denver ( )

The author tells his life story that begins very similar to mine based on his birth date and location. I easily related. Funny and reminiscent.

He also gave accounts of people living within a few hundred miles of where I grew up. This opened my eyes to how they lived while, at the same time, I was living a completely different life. Astounding and troubling.

Three page chapters make this book easy to pick up and put down - but you might want to read it in a day. Bittersweet and amazing. ( )

Well- a poor Lazarus poor as I
When he died he had a home on high....
The rich man died and lived so well
When he died he had a home in hell...
You better get a home in that Rock, don't you see?
