Leslie V.’s Reviews > Theo of Golden > Status Update

Theo’s friendship with Ellen, the homeless and mentally unstable resident of Golden, is truly the heart of the book’s message. His perspective on Ellen—seeing the potential for "saintliness" where the rest of the world sees only instability—is exactly what makes the story so transformative. It challenges my own heart: How often do I miss the saintliness in the people in my life. It is a masterpiece of grace.
