Questions linger about Theo, a pleasant but mysterious stranger, after his arrival in the southern city of Golden. Who is he, an why is he here? He arrives early one spring and by chance (or is it?) he visits a coffee shop where 92 frames 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.
