Brilliant memoir.

I'm shocked this memoir wasn't on every 'Best of' list for 2025. It's wise and funny and sad and smart. If you're looking for a memoir to read, pick this one up immediately.

Theo of Golden by Allen  Levi
"I found this book overly sentimental. The characters remained stagnant, all good or all bad, with little depth, change, or growth. Theo was rich and solved everyone's problems. Everything was 'golden' even the name of the town."
Theo of Golden by Allen  Levi
" Interesting! I see this recommended everywhere. "
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
" I galloped through this one! So good. The conclusion worked for the plot, I thought, but felt imposed on the characters. "

“Loss had alerted us to earlier memories, and they sat in contrast to the parent we thought we knew.”
Sari Fordham, Wait for God to Notice

“My father attended a one-room Adventist school. He could barely read or write, and during class, he wandered around the room, no doubt annoying his teacher. Yet she responded with kindness, igniting in my father an admiration for the profession and an awareness of how one teacher can change someone’s life trajectory.”
Sari Fordham, Wait for God to Notice

“We know and don’t know our parents in equal parts.”
Sari Fordham, Wait for God to Notice
