THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING PHENOMENON Readers love Theo of Golden... 'Heart-wrenching' 'I have read many books in my life - this is without doubt one of the greatest' 'The most beautiful book I've ever read' 'Destined to become a classic' 'I have never cried so many times reading a book' 'Salve for the soul' One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from...or why... His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers. Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. 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 giving and receiving, 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.
