    They were part of the Baby Boomer vanguard, three boys thrown together in a 1950s Southern California subdivision looking like most other boys of that era. Under coonskin hats they ran free all summer long inventing their own games and endless challenges, fought imaginary Indians and pirates in a nearby orange grove, and on occasion battled a neighborhood bully or two. Their greatest enemy, however, was an infectious disease called polio – a paralyzing scourge that maimed and too-often killed little kids. 
    This is a coming-of-age tale based on actual events and the experiences of real people. Told chiefly through the eyes of a child, at times it will warm your soul as well as, perhaps, break your heart. Then, too, there will be plenty of twists and turns that will leave you laughing out loud. 
    So, let us journey now back to that long-ago time and see what it was really like – with hula hoops, bouffant hair and flat tops with wings; “American Bandstand,” “Ozzie and Harriet” and “Davy Crockett” on TV; Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Elvis electrifying the up-and-coming Boomer generation – and a nation as terrified by the threat of nuclear war with the Russians as by a crippling and deadly microscopic bug.

    Following his beautiful wife Margie's diagnosis of dementia (Alzheimer's disease) at the relatively tender age of sixty, Carey became an advocate for carers and the families of loved ones facing a similar diagnosis.
    
    That's a Nice Giraffe is his first book—an honest, heartfelt account of love, loss, and endurance in the face of one of life's cruellest diseases. It tracks his experiences coping with Margie's short-term memory loss, her cognitive deterioration, and, later, her troubling behavioural and personality changes. This book covers the full spectrum of his experiences and raw emotions, commencing at the time of Margie's diagnosis through to the heart-wrenching decision to place Margie into full-time residential care.
    
    While recognising that everyone's journey will be different, this book provides meaningful insight and wisdom for anyone wondering what might lie ahead. It is an inspiring, practical, and sometimes even funny companion for husbands, wives, children, friends, and relatives of a loved one diagnosed with dementia—especially younger‑onset dementia.

    The great author of 'Vanity Fair' and 'The Luck of Barry Lyndon' was born in India in 1811.  At age 5 his father died and his mother sent him back to England.  His education was of the best but he himself seemed unable to apply his talents to a rigorous work ethic.  However, once he harnessed his talents the works flowed in novels, articles, short stories, sketches and lectures.  Sadly, his personal life was rather more difficult.  After a few years of marriage his wife began to suffer from depression and over the years became detached from reality.  Thackeray himself suffered from ill health later in his life and the one pursuit that kept him moving forward was that of writing.  In his life time, he was placed second only to Dickens.  High praise indeed.
