Hi Ladies,

Our next book- for April is "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi. The synopsis is copied below. For anyone new to this book club- you are NOT required to read the books; however, we do read and discuss the books- and any other topics that spin off from those discussions. Still optional to read them. Given our snacks seem to rarely get eaten or only a nibble, you are always welcome to bring a small snack or drink to share, but please do not feel obligated to do so.

SYNOPSIS "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."

Looking forward to seeing everyone and happy reading! Tracey
