Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped "da Man" - in the 1960's - by hopping a train. Then, after another 18 homeless years on the streets of Dallas, God moved... and a godly woman prayed, and listened, and obeyed. And mountains began to move, beginning with her husband, Ron, an international art dealer accustomed to the foo-foo world of Armani suits and art-collecting millionaires.

Then the story takes a devasting twist when Deborah discovers she has cancer. Will Deborah live or die? Will Denver learn to trust a white man? Will Ron embrace his dying wife's vision to rescue Denver? Or will Denver be the one rescuing Ron?

There's pain and laugher, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story that readers will never forget.

I picked up this book to see if it matched with the choice of one of my reviewers, I started to read, and I was hooked and knew I wasn’t sending it anywhere! Ron and his wife Deborah live in affluent style in Fort Worth Texas, Denver is a homeless down-and-out from the other side of the town, the undesirable, neglected part. In alternate chapters, Denver and Ron tell their individual stories till they are brought together by Deborah persuading Ron to go with her to help out at the down town mission. Slowly Deborah in particular wins the love and trust of many of those they serve, including Denver who Deborah is sure God has put them in touch with for a particular purpose. ‘Miss Debbie’ falls ill with Cancer and the heartbreaking, moving, yet heart-warming story continues. I learnt so much from this book, not least about share-cropping in the Deep South, I wish everyone would read it.
