Publisher’s Summary
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
A Katie Couric Book Club Pick • A Jen Hatmaker Book Club Pick
“[A] word-of-mouth smash hit.” —The New York Times
“A treasure.” —Hoda Kotb
“To Kill a Mockingbird for this generation.” —The Dallas Morning News
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.
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.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “10/10”
If you never read another book, you must read Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. My heart is ripped out and made whole in one day. It shot to #1 on my best book of all time. (I have almost 300 books in my library. There are a few religious references, and anyone who knows me, also knows I hate being preached to! I did not feel preached to. I felt love and kindness of the human spirit. I am a better person after reading it. I read it in one day and my heart was ripped apart and put back together. Please read this book. you won’t be sorry.— Alix, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Just WOW!!!!”
An insight into how we all, and each one, could harness the small but mighty act of bestowal! With nothing but our kindness and words – we have great power to alter the trajectory of everyone we encounter – like Jesus modeled, may we choose to do it for good and beauty and truth. May you be blessed and ever favored.— Amazon Customer, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Feel good mystery”
Jealous of anybody who hasn’t read it yet. I wish I could read it all over again without knowing how it ends. Also best narrator I’ve ever heard who isn’t the author himself!— Barry, Audible listener
