Everyone is welcome to join us for book club—no pressure to finish the book. Come as you are and show up on the dates below. That said, we will be discussing the plot, themes, and characters, so there may be spoilers.
We value everyone’s time and want each gathering to feel meaningful, so we encourage thoughtful conversation. Bring your questions, reactions, theories, or favorite quotes, but if you’d rather simply listen and soak it in, that’s perfectly welcome too.
Our book club has a twist (and not just the plot kind): each story gets its own curated wine list based on its characters and storyline.
We'd be delighted to have you with us!
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.
