Beyond Books
November’s book: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi
One spring morning, a stranger named Theo arrives in the small Southern city of Golden. He doesn’t explain much about where he came from or why he’s there, but when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls, he begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person’s story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.

About the group:
Beyond Books combines book club traditions (reading the book & book club discussion questions) with various videos that may include author interviews, time in history or other videos pertinent to the topic.
You don’t have to read the book to participate but we hope you do! Regardless, participate in the discussion, as you never know where it will lead.
The group is facilitated by JCC member Barbara Brachfeld. Attendees pick the books together.
The group meets the third Friday of most months.
