One spring 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 has arrived by chance — or has he? At the local coffeehouse, ninety-two pencil portraits of the town's people hang on the walls, and Theo begins purchasing them one at a time, returning each to its 'rightful owner'. With every exchange, a story is told, a friendship is born, and a life is altered. An international bestselling phenomenon, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about seeing and being seen, the power of creative generosity, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us together.
