Soon, Mildred passes away, and the android Carey must find a new purpose in the world — and in its new family: Paul Owens, the overworked businessman. Susan Owens, the dedicated teacher. And Millie, a curious little girl who will grow up alongside her android best friend. As the humans around it age and change, Carey struggles to understand life’s challenges and to make its own path. Carey must learn to live. To grow. To care.

Today I Am Carey is a story about life... and an android’s memories.
