Two boys. One friendship. A lifetime of memories-slowly slipping away.
John Carter and Kevin Brooks have been best friends since childhood, bound by fishing lines, front-porch laughter, and long days spent chasing the sun along the Chesapeake Bay. Now in their early eighties, they believe they're just two old men enjoying another quiet day-until a simple walk turns into something far more dangerous.
John Carter and Kevin Brooks have been best friends since childhood, bound by fishing lines, front-porch laughter, and long days spent chasing the sun along the Chesapeake Bay. Now in their early eighties, they believe they're just two old men enjoying another quiet day-until a simple walk turns into something far more dangerous.
Neither realizes they are living with Alzheimer's disease.
As memory fades and the world begins to feel unfamiliar, John and Kevin wander through the city guided by instinct, humor, and a bond stronger than names, directions, or time itself. While families and police search desperately, the two friends revisit the past in fragments-finding clarity, peace, and meaning in moments that refuse to disappear.
Written with a raw, funny-but-serious voice, TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY captures the reality of Alzheimer's with honesty, compassion, and unexpected laughter. It is a powerful story about dignity, identity, and the truth that even when memory fades, love, friendship, and a good day still count.
This novel is a tribute to: John W. Mills Sr.
Those living with Alzheimer's and dementia
The families and caregivers who walk beside them
And the memories that live deeper than the mind
Some days are forgotten.
Some moments remain.
Today was a good day.
