non-fiction
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. (A true story of how one man becomes
deeply involved with the homeless in a very personal way---I found it very
moving)
