Today I Am Carey

In his remarkable debut novel, acclaimed author Martin L. Shoemaker tells the poignant story of Mildred, an Alzheimer's patient who forms a bond with an android named Carey, designed to assist her as her memories fade. Based on Shoemaker's award-winning short story "Today I Am Paul," the narrative explores Carey's evolution after Mildred's passing, as it seeks a new purpose within her family, including her overworked son, her devoted daughter-in-law, and a curious granddaughter. Carey grapples with understanding life’s complexities, striving to learn what it means to grow, care, and ultimately exist in a changing world.
