by Denver Moore, Lynn Vincent, Ron Hall
First published 2015
Denver Moore, a homeless Black man with a turbulent past, seems invisible to the world. Ron Hall, a white art dealer from Texas, initially sees Denver as just another street person. But when Ron's wife Deborah insists they get to know Denver, an unexpected connection begins. Deborah challenges Ron to see beyond surface differences, pushing him to volunteer at a Fort Worth mission where Denver regularly receives meals. As their relationship deepens, Denver reveals a complex history of poverty, racism, and survival that transforms Ron's understanding of humanity. What starts as a charitable encounter becomes a profound friendship that will test both men's assumptions about race, class, and compassion.
