The Best of Good cover

Tom Good, once a music star, now leads a quiet life until a surprise revelation about his past challenges his routine in The Best of Good.

Life was going smoothly for Tom Good, affectionately known as Good by nearly everyone around him. He was living the dream, earning a living through music, leading the band Point Blank, and creating three unforgettable hits that resonated deeply with his generation. However, without any clear reason, he made the shocking decision to walk away from it all, leaving his fans and friends in disbelief.

More than two decades have passed since that pivotal moment. Now, Tom has embraced a quieter lifestyle, spending his days writing and recording music in a modest studio tucked away in his home, while working as a bartender in a local San Diego music venue at night. He has crafted a routine that provides him with a sense of security, but when he discovers that one of his former girlfriends has a ten-year-old son who bears an uncanny resemblance to him, his carefully maintained world begins to unravel.

Sara Lewis, known for her engaging storytelling in works like Second Draft of My Life and The Answer Is Yes, brings her unique blend of humor and insight to The Best of Good. This novel explores the complexities of midlife and the unexpected turns that can lead to personal growth, making it a captivating read for anyone navigating the challenges of adulthood.
