I'm actually poaching the idea for this entry from a post I made on my personal blog. It's regarding Same Kind of Different As Me, a story chronicling the journey of two perfect strangers who end up becoming best friends. Ron Hall, a wealthy art dealer, and Denver Moore, a homeless vagabond, co-wrote the piece, and their words serve to remind readers that though we may appear different from one another based on our circumstances, at our core we are all very much the same.
An excerpt from the book's Web site explains the dynamic of the book better than I ever could:
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.
The story begins outside a burning plantation hut in Louisiana and within an East Texas honky-tonk...and, without a doubt, in the heart of God. It unfolds in a Hollywood hacienda, in an upscale New York gallery, in a downtown dumpster, in a Texas ranch. Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.
"Just tell 'em I'm a nobody that's tryin' to tell ever'body 'bout a Somebody that can save anybody."
