Roy Kelley is always recommending books, but I have to give a special shout-out to my son-in-law for recommending one to me last spring, Allen Levi’s, "Theo of Golden."
I loved it! ❤️ And when I recently stumbled across this wonderful YouTube video about the author, I knew I had to share it with all of you.
Theo of Golden is one of those stories that quietly sneaks into your heart and stays there. It’s about an 86-year-old man who mysteriously arrives in a new city and, through simple acts of kindness, begins changing the people and the community around him.
And apparently, I’m not the only one who fell in love with Theo!

What started years ago as a self-published novel by an author who had never written a novel before has grown into a publishing phenomenon. After being picked up by a major imprint in 2025, Theo of Golden landed on the New York Times bestseller list and has been winning over readers everywhere. |
But perhaps the most fascinating part of the story is the man behind the book.
Who is Allen Levi? What inspired him to write Theo’s story? What shapes the way he sees the world, and why has this particular story touched so many people?
I think you’ll enjoy discovering the answers as much as I did.
So, if you’re looking for a book that will make you slow down, think a little deeper and perhaps see the power of kindness in a whole new way, I highly recommend Theo of Golden.
And after you read it, I’d love to know… Did Theo touch your heart the way he touched mine? ❤️
Now, take a few minutes to meet the fascinating man behind the story. Watch the video and discover Allen Levi:
