Editorial Review:

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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - profoundly impacted
This book profoundly impacted both my husband and me. I have recommended it to many, many friends. They have also responded with rave reviews. This true story reveals how living beyond yourself can change our world, one life at a time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Same Kind of Different As Me
I loved this book. It shows the power of God and how he can transform lives. I could not put it down once I started reading it. It really opens your eyes to look at people from the inside instead of the outside. No matter what we look like, I think we all have a story to tell. Some more powerful than others and it is obvious from this book that you don't need to be rich or have a college degree to be one of the most giving and insightful people there is. I would highly recommend this book to ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Same Kind of Different As Me
This book, a true story co-written by a homeless man and an art dealer, deals with incredibly important social and moral issues in a relaxed but intimate way. Your views on homelessness, suffering, forgiveness, and faith will be challenged and sharpened by reading this book. Understanding gained by reading this book can be life-changing for you, as well as the world.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chapter by Chapter
This book is a fast read that was hard to put down until I reached the final page. It is the first story I have read in which authors with extremely different techniques alternate chapters, yet blend together a fascinatingly true story of love between human beings from opposite ends of the social spectrum. It tells of lost and found, pain and healing, solitude and relationships, and rising out of the ashes of dispair into the realm of hope. It is a spirit lifter.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Same Kind of Different as Me
A wonderful testimony of hope. The power of unconditional love could not have been presented in a more understanding manner. I finished the book with new but unknown friends.
