Theo of Golden
Theo of Golden | Allen Levi
2 posts | 2 read
Questions linger about Theo, a pleasant but mysterious stranger, after his arrival in the southern city of Golden. Who is he, and why is he here? He arrives early one spring and by chance - or is it? - he visits a coffee shop where 92 framed pencil portraits are on display. Inspired, Theo sets out on a mission of purchasing all the portraits one at a time and quietly bestowing them on their 'rightful owners.' Stories are told; friendships are born; and lives are changed. Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted story about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the far-reaching possibilities of anonymous kindness.

What a beautiful book! This character-driven story is about the year that Theo, a mysterious older man, lives in the town of Golden. Theo is captivated by the portraits on display at the local coffee shop and is on a mission to gift them to the subjects. The story moves a bit slow, but I didn‘t mind because I loved spending time with Theo and the people of Golden. The ending is poignant and lovely. This is a great work of craftsmanship.
