Eric Dane to Publish ALS Memoir 'Book of Days' in 2026

Maria Shriver's imprint will publish the collection, underscoring his intent to record the daily realities of the illness rather than provide medical updates.

Overview

  • The memoir is titled "Book of Days; A Memoir in Moments" and is planned for release in 2026.
  • Dane says the project is driven by waking each morning to the reality and challenge of ALS and by a desire to remind readers to savor each moment.
  • The book will cover his experience with the disease alongside reflections on his family life and acting career.
  • Maria Shriver said she is honored to publish the memoir through The Open Field, her imprint that has championed caregiving and health narratives.
  • Dane publicly disclosed his ALS diagnosis in April and told Good Morning America in June that he still had a functioning arm and did not believe his story was over.
