About my book...My book is intended as an autobiographical, but essentially sociological, reflection on the path(s) that my life has taken....It's a look back at my life from my now mid-60s position in it....in an attempt to better know and understand just 'who I am'....and who I've been....and become.....and just how I got here.Yes, its personal....of course it is....that's what autobiographies are.....but I hope it's a readily recognisable, and therefore rewarding, read, for all those who take the trouble to read it. As the perceptive Shakespeare wrote in "As you like it"....."One man, in his time, plays many parts....His acts being seven ages"....and my (sociological) autobiography generally follows that seven-age pattern....So, there's (hopefully) something of both relevance and interest for everybody.....at every age.Accordingly, each chapter stands alone, (if you want it to), in looking at a particular 'phase' of my life, as well as (hopefully) painting a more complete picture, and offering that lifelong perspective, for those who see it through to the end.So, whether in part or in whole.....Enjoy.

Dementia is a particularly cruel and teasing disease for which there is no known cure. No vaccine... and no escape, once it takes a hold. My book is a personal, yet hopefully objective, and sociological, reflection on all aspects of caring for my much-loved Mum throughout the steadily worsening stages of her final (5) years of life... until the Dementia finally reeled in its ‘prey.’ If it makes a positive difference to just one sufferer, it will not have been written in vain.
