<p>A dangerous, homeless drifter who grew up picking cotton in virtual slavery. <p>An upscale art dealer accustomed to the world of Armani and Chanel. <p>A gutsy woman with a stubborn dream. <p>A story so incredible no novelist would dare dream it. <p>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. <p>Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.
