#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"[A] word-of-mouth smash hit." —The New York Times
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.
