Why read it?

1 author picked Theo of Golden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It's rare that a novel wraps itself around my heart like this one. In it, a mysterious older man moves into a small Georgia town, and something magical unfolds. That's really all I can say without spoilers.

This is a book about kindness, about all the sadness that each and every one of us accumulates in this life, and about the beauty and joy of life in spite of the sorrows. It's richly imagined, beautifully crafted, and packed with love and hope.

This one will haunt me for a long while.
