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.

Narrated by multiple Emmy and Tony award nominee David Morse, with a brand new afterword about the writing of THEO OF GOLDEN, narrated by the author himself. Classics Editors Select Friendship Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Southern United States World Literature Heartfelt Feel-Good Inspiring

Just read it and listen all the way to the author’s notes at the end. I wish it could continue…

One of the most comforting stories I’ve ever read!

This book wrecked me. I have not cried from listening or reading a book in a while, but this book had me in tears toward the end. The story was so beautifully written. This is one book I will be buying and keeping. I am glad I listened to the audiobook. So well done.

Outstanding!!!

I loved the deep kindness & generosity of Theo as he navigated his new life in Golden. The author provided rich images of nature, artistry, language, and music, but the real story was kindness.
I am looking forward to reading/hearing more from Allen Levi.

I was touched by this story. Theo’s loving, thoughtful, meaningful gift giving will stay with me for a long time. I was pulled into the little town of Golden and the lives of the people there. The narration was so calm and fitting for the story. Loved this book!

Lovely story.
