Our reading recommendation

Theo of Golden

by Allen Levi

Why we recommend it

Theo of Golden is simply a feel-good story about people, connection and the impact one person can have on those around them. You’ll fall for Theo, and when you’re finished, you’ll wish you could sit down and have a conversation with him yourself. Even better? It’s pairs well for book club discussion.
