Ron Hall – författare

Es la historia de Denver Moore, un hombre que nunca asistió a la escuela, nunca fue remunerado por sus años de trabajo agotador y que vio el sobrevivir en las calles como subir un peldaño en la vida. Nunca pensó que sería amigo de un hombre blanco conductor de una camioneta y cliente de Starbucks.Esta también es la historia de Ron Hall, un exclusivo comerciante de arte con buen ojo para obras maestras y una nariz para encontrar ofertas. Al vivir en haciendas de Hollywood, galerías Soho, y castillos europeos, nunca se imaginó que el siguiente capítulo de su vida sería escrito al interior de un refugio de vagabundos citadinos.Y, por supuesto, es la historia de Debbie Hall; una mujer con agallas y convicción profunda. Fueron su compasión y persistencia las que los unió, la visión que transformó el interior de una ciudad y trajo esperanza a miles de personas.La historia de la vida real de dos hombres y una mujer excepcional también es un relato sobre la verdadera vida —áspera, con los pies en la tierra, a menudo dolorosa, ultimadamente esperanzadora, siempre sorprendente.Es una historia en la que puedes creer.

Denna otroliga men sanna berättelse handlar om Denver Moore som i modern tid växte upp som slav på en bomulls­plantage. Att senare kunna överleva på gatan såg han som ett kliv uppåt i livet. Efter 10 år på amerikas­ värsta fängelse var han en farlig, råbarkad lösdrivare. Detta är också berättelsen om Ron Hall en internationell konsthandlare som var van vid dyra märkeskläder, stadsjeep och att resa världen runt och träffa förmögna konstintresserade. Men det var kvinnan Deborah Hall som genom en märklig­ dröm en natt fick vara orsaken till att männen under dramatiska omständigheter möttes. Flera stora filmbolag har redan visat intresse för att göra film på denna makalösa berättelse.
