I jumped on the Theo of Golden bandwagon and started reading it a while ago. I have no words. Just go read the book. It is precious, contemplative, and made me wish I had secret millions to help all the people.
Just go read it ....
One spring morning, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden. He doesn’t explain much about where he came from or why he’s there—but when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls, he begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person’s story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered. A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is an unforgettable novel about the power of generosity, the importance of connection, and the quiet miracles that happen when we choose kindness and wonder. (description at Amazon)
I'm serious, go read it. You can even borrow my copy.
Taking a short break from reading to finish up a cross - stitch project and to let me soul just sit in the wonderousness of Theo ...
