The book, that is factual* but could read like fiction, tells the story of the unlikeliest friends — Ron Hall and Denver Moore. Told in two voices, the book shifts between telling the story from the perspective* of Hall and Moore.

    Hall is a rich international art dealer who travels around the world buying and selling rare and expensive works of art. He has grown rich but has also grown selfish and has grown away from his family.

    When he reluctantly* volunteers at a homeless shelter, as asked by his wife, he meets Moore, who grew up as a sharecropper* in Louisiana, living a life that seemed little different from the life of his ancestors* one hundred years before.

    Moore finally walked away from the cotton fields and found that, while life on the streets of Fort Worth was difficult, it was easier than being a sharecropper. It was there, in a homeless shelter, that the two men met, one serving food and the other reluctantly receiving this charity*.

    At first unable to get close to Moore’s stony* personality, Hall finally succeeds and strikes up a friendship with a man worlds apart. They become fast friends who endure* a tragedy together and who soon grow in their love, respect and admiration of each other. Each man teaches the other about life and faith*. The story of the relationship between these two men is fascinating* and inspiring. It leads readers into two worlds that are nearly opposite and shows what happens when these worlds come into contact with each other. While the book shows a sense of humor, there is also plenty of heart.
