Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this 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.
Non-trusting, uneducated, and violent, he spent another 18 years
on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth. Meet Ron Hall, a
self-made millionaire in the world of high priced art deals --
concerned with fast cars, beautiful women, and fancy clothes.
And the woman who changed their lives -- Miss Debbie: “The
skinniest, nosiest, pushiest, woman I ever met, black or white.”
She helped the homeless and gave of herself to all of “God’s
People,” and had a way of knowing how to listen and helping
others talk and be found – until cancer strikes. There's pain
and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story
that readers will never forget.
Characters: 93. Amazon rating: 5 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
