'For anything to be truly good, there must be love in it. Nothing is what it's supposed to be if love is not at the core.'
One morning, a stranger arrives in the town of Golden. No one knows who he is or where he came from…
His name is Theo and he's arrived there by chance – or has he? He visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits by a local artist of the people of Golden. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their 'rightful owners'. With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.
A story of seeing and being seen,
Theo of Golden
is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.
Readers love
