Workin’ Our Way Home:

Workin’ Our Way Home is a story about two men from totally different worlds brought together by destiny. It is the story of Ron Hall, an international art dealer with expensive tastes, and Denver Moore, a drifter and homeless man with a questionable past to boot. This book covers the ten years these two lived together, and the adventures that filled their days throughout this period. Workin’ Our Way Home is more of a continuation of the first book on this odd duo in Same Kind of Different as Me. The story also includes Debbie, a woman of faith whose work stood out long after she had died.

The journey of these two men is characterized by selflessness, faith, and unwavering devotion to Debbie, a woman they loved deeply. Even though Debbie was dead, the two friends live with the teachings she believed in and practiced when she was alive. Her love for the homeless pushed the son to work more to fulfill her dreams of making the world a better place. Denver sees Ron through those dark days when he is mourning his wife while Ron rescues Denver enough times when he gets in trouble. Their relationship with God also grows stronger as both men come to terms with the desire He has for them and all of humanity.
One of the critical life lessons taught in this memoir is unconditional love. While both men had faults, their relationship survived despite their weaknesses. Instead, they both tried to make each other better and cover for each other, where one fell short. Ron tried, without much success, to teach Denver accountability and responsibility while Denver showed Ron the most important things in life. Through Denver, Ron got to know more about the homeless and the circumstances that push them to the streets. In the end, it becomes apparent that kindness to those around us can be life-changing, and money is not the only solution to be used where the homeless and other needy people are concerned.

This fascinating story is told in Ron’s and Denver’s voices making their experiences come to life. You can feel their excitement, disappoints, and a hint of weariness as they get closer home. Ron is quite honest about his frustrations with Denver, but he is quick to point out the wisdom and overall kindness that Denver had to offer. Denver is a kind man, and it is evident that his love for Ron is genuine. Denver is also wise, and his writing is thought-provoking.
If you are looking for a book that will inspire you, Workin’ Our Way Home is a great choice. The memoir will bring a deeper understanding of God’s unconditional love and encourage you to initiate and keep the friendships that go beyond your comfort zone. It is heartwarming to know that through Ron’s and Denver’s unusual friendship, a lot of money and awareness has is raised for the homeless.
