Opens our eyes

My two older sons (age 25 and 27) recommended this book to me. I was immediately engrossed because, like me, one of the main characters grew up in the DFW area and had relatives in East Texas. He attended East Texas State University (my alma mater) because it was the cheapest college in Texas at the time. Then he transferred to TCU so he could meet some pretty, rich girls. I never had that luxury, but I did just fine at ETSU because that's where I met my wife! Anyway, the other character is a black man from Louisiana who was the son of a sharecropper and describes his life as modern day slavery.

The lives of these two men are eventually brought together by a remarkable woman as the story of the breakdown of racist stereotypes begins and a lifelong friendship is developed. Having lived through much of the racism in this area from the 50's onward, it was an eye opener to see the elements of racism that we sometimes are blind to. Seeing this from two very divergent perspectives was especially helpful, and seeing how those who perspectives can come together and actually create a loving bond was inspirational.

I stayed up until 5 in the morning finishing the book because I couldn't put it down. The last few chapters of the book were so emotionally moving (and draining) that I had to stop reading several times because my eyes were filled with tears.

Anyway, this is a true story, very inspirational, and a must read. It will give you lots to think about, especially for those of you raised in the south, and you won't want the book to end.

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.
