Denver Moore - Böcker

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.
