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.

Allen Levi, who grew up in Columbus, Georgia, lives on and cares for family acreage near a small town in middle Georgia. He worked as an attorney and judge, was a singer/songwriter and now is a full-time writer. 'Theo of Golden', which was originally self-published in 2023, is his first novel and instantly hit the New York Times bestseller list when it came out in 2025.
