Same Kind of Different as Me Movie Edition: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together

By Denver Moore, Ron Hall, Lynn Vincent, et al.

Book Overview

A critically acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller with more than one million copies in print and 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.

Customer Reviews

Great book!

This was a SUPER great read! At times I had tears of laughter, the next moment I had to stop reading and wipe my eyes from crying as I could not see the pages. I highly recommend this book. I have started the second of the three book series.

Great!! Everyone from north Texas should be reading this book!

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I am a Dallas native and have spent plenty of time in Ft Worth and the mid-cities, so this book spoke to my heart in so many ways. I can actually visualize the locations. I think everyone who grew up in Dallas/Fort Worth would really appreciate “Same Kind of Difference as Me”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tears tears tears and more tears

From the very first chapter, I was sucked in by this book. Being able to read from both Ron and Denver’s perspectives was so captivating. Such a beautiful story of compassion, faith and hope. I absolutely loved it!

Eye opener

Amazing True Story

This read like a made for TV movie but then I realized it was TRUE. Well off couple volunteers in homeless shelter and meets a man who was victim of racism from birth. Heartbreaking.
