Product Description
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, 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, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.

 Same Kind of Different as Me December 3, 2008
Based on a true story. Very touching. I would love to meet the 2 men.
Good religious reading.
same kind of different as me November 30, 2008
This book was highly recommended by my sister and then three of my good friends, so I went out and downloaded the audio version, which is how I usually "read.' I could tell right away that it was abridged.
Therefor, I bought and actually sat down to read the book. It was great. I had so much fun sitting there with a cup (well, several cups) of tea. I learned a lot. I did not know that racism still exists to this extent.
But the book is not about racism, it is about love, giving and receiving.
Read it!!!
Open your eyes November 27, 2008
For those of us who wish we could believe that a certain kind of America was left behind in the 1800's or 1960's, this is a book of both truth and hope. This story is powerful both in its portrayal of reality and its substantiation of the difference which can still be made by individual people who dare to care. It is a story, not a treatise on how to change the institutions. But, it just may bring you to tears followed by action.
Amazing Story November 23, 2008
The story had me gripped right away. Each chapter switched to each of the two main characters telling thier side of the story.
Here I was thinking it was great storytelling when I realized the story was non-fiction! This made the experience even more intense and beautiful.
This is a wonderful book. I highly recommend it.
Sad but great read November 23, 2008
This was a very readable book and one that will touch your heart on many levels. Good for mature teens.
