The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst

In the autumn of 1968, Donald Crowhurst set out from England in his untested trimaran, a competitor in the first singlehanded nonstop around-the-world sailboat race. Eight months later, the boat was found in mid-Atlantic with no one on board. Crowhurst's logs and diaries revealed that, although he had radioed messages from his supposed round-the-world course, he had in fact never left the Atlantic. This journalistic masterpiece reconstructs what happened: Crowhurst's growing distrust of his boat; his first decision to attempt one of the great hoaxes of our time; the lying radio transmissions; the ``triumphal'' return up the Atlantic as the elapsed-time race leader; and the fantastic ending. The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst is both a suspenseful narrative and a psychological casebook of human zeal and anguish.

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.

Read the critically acclaimed #1 New York Times best-seller with more than one million copies in print. Same Kind of Different as Me was a major motion picture release by Paramount in fall 2017.
Gritty with pain and betrayal and brutality, this true story also shines with an unexpected, life-changing love.
Meet Denver, raised under plantation-style slavery in Louisiana until he escaped the “Man” – in the 1960’s – by hopping a train. Non-trusting, uneducated, and violent, he spent another 18 years on the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth.
Meet Ron Hall, a self-made millionaire in the world of high priced art deals -- concerned with fast cars, beautiful women, and fancy clothes.
And the woman who changed their lives -- Miss Debbie: “The skinniest, nosiest, pushiest, woman I ever met, black or white.” She helped the homeless and gave of herself to all of “God’s People,” and had a way of knowing how to listen and helping others talk and be found – until cancer strikes.
Same Kind of Different as Me is a tale told in two unique voices – Ron Hall &amp; Denver Moore – weaving two completely different life experiences into one common journey where both men learn “whether we is rich or poor or something in between this earth ain’t no final restin’ place. So in a way, we is all homeless-just workin’ our way toward home.”
The story takes a devastating twist when Deborah discovers she has cancer. Will Deborah live or die? Will Denver learn to trust a white man? Will Ron embrace his dying wife's vision to rescue Denver? Or will Denver be the one rescuing Ron? There's pain and laughter, doubt and tears, and in the end a triumphal story that readers will never forget.
