CBI’s Book Club is back for the 26-27 Season. The first read is Theo of Golden by Allen Levi.
About the Book:
A mysterious elderly man named Theo arrives in a small Southern town and quietly begins purchasing 92 pencil portraits displayed at a local coffee shop to gift them back to their rightful owners. Through these intimate exchanges, he listens to the residents’ hidden stories, forms profound friendships, and gently transforms the community by helping people feel truly seen and valued.
About the Author:
Allen Levi was a lawyer, independent singer-songwriter, and small-town probate judge in Georgia before becoming a bestselling novelist in his late 60s. He holds a master’s degree in Scottish fiction from the University of Edinburgh, and for decades, he used his passion for storytelling to write more than 20 music albums and a touching memoir about his late brother, The Last Sweet Mile.
