Theo of Golden

A mysterious stranger arrives in the small southern town of Golden. He's from Portugal, but he never shares his last name. He's intrigued by the 92 portraits hanging in the coffeeshop he enters. Each portrait is that of a resident. One by one he buys them, contacts the subject of the portrait, and asks to meet them at the fountain to give them their portrait. What follows is a beautiful story of seeing beyond exteriors, listening to others, building relationships, and embracing community. If you enjoy stories where you get to know the characters well or like stories set in small quaint towns or novels infused with wisdom that don't preach, you'll certainly appreciate Theo of Golden.
