Dear Auntie Jane, It was lovely to meet you, Jeff and your friends on our trip. We arrived safely home and totalled 16,238km from start to finish. Daddy and I met lots of nice people like you along the way. Thank you for your nice words.

Just when you think you have a good idea on what it would be like for a person caring for their loved one with dementia, this heartfelt book full of such raw emotion demonstrates just how little you really know unless you’ve travelled the path yourself.
I met Ken and Chloe on their travels at Byron Bay and was so taken by his devotion to little Chloe. When I read the book, I completely understood why she is such a big part of his life.
Thanks Ken for your work with Black Dog and your commitment to raising funds towards fighting dementia.

In reply to Leigh Wilkins.

Beautifully written Ken. I could FEEL your sadness, heartache, sorrow and also your “acceptance of life without your soulmate!” This is a story that needs to be told. I especially loved your conclusion of helping those with Dementia by friendship and caring. The Dementia sufferer gets very frightened especially at the onset of the disease and needs compassion, gentleness and understanding. Loved the poetry! Loved the photography! Well done and Thankyou. Donna

A review by Traverse Magazine – February March 2019:

Who Are You? Isn’t so much a book about motorcycling but rather the reflections of the author and his travelling companion Chloe on the life they shared with Ken Eaton’s wife Sue.
Ken writes of his life, and loss, as his wife and he went through one of the most insidious of diseases; dementia.
Through verse and poems, beautifully written from the heart, while Ken and his little mate, Chloe, travel Australia, the story of what a dementia sufferers family goes through is thoughtfully told.
Who Are You? Is the perfect example of how the solitude of motorcycle travel can open your mind, help you reflect, collect your thoughts, and discover more than you ever realised. Through tragedy, Ken has managed to do what many travellers hope to achieve and has opened his heart. His little mate, Chloe, has no doubt helped a great deal, even ‘writing’ her own piece of the story; Chloe’s ‘input’ input into the Who are You? Story is simply beautiful and a thoughtful way of narrating the story.
Who Are You? Is a short book that tells a massive story, it will have you smiling and crying, it will have you thinking, reflecting a thankful for what you have. You’ll finish it, put it down and almost immediately pick it up again. Each time it reveals a little more of the story shared between Sue, Ken and Chloe.
A simply beautiful little book!

What a beautiful heartfelt story narrated in verse by Ken, through the eyes of Chloe, Sue and Kens four legged fury companion.

It truly touches on the far reaching cruelty of dementia, Kens personal grief and emotional struggle whilst caring for his beloved wife Sue.

Beautifully put together Ken.

This book by Ken and Chloe has opened my eyes to the horrific way dementia afflicts both the person and their loved ones.

Beautifully real. So sad, yet at its heart is a touching love story. How lucky they were to have found one another so young. I cried and then I smiled. I loved this book ❤️
