Years ago I asked a good friend how she found time to read. She replied "Ang, you find time for the things you love." It stuck with me.

Same Kind of Different As Me: A Modern-Day Slave, an International Art Dealer, and the Unlikely Woman Who Bound Them Together by Ron Hall and Denver Moore
What a powerful, powerful story.
I loved reading this book. It made me cry like a baby during the last quarter of the book, and I hate that...but I still love the book.
Ron and Denver would have never been friends, if not for Debbie, Ron's wife. Debbie was used by God to bring them together and to bring Denver out of homelessness. Denver was used by God to help Ron and to be strong for him.
I wish I were more like Debbie...

Thanks to my reading-friend, Christine, for mailing me her copy of this book to read!

5 Stars!! I bought this book at a used book sale at the library, and I haven't read it yet! I'll have to move it up on the TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe a library would sell their copy! It's a highly recommend book by those who read it. I think you'll love it.
