Meet Leo, Larry, Bill, Allen and Michael—five prostate cancer patients who refuse to let their cancer diagnosis stop them from living. They undergo the same medical treatment and then decide to form a softball team called RECNAC. Along with a few other team members and their very smart wives, and with Leo at the helm, they reinvigorate a leisure services company that provides each man with a new opportunity for success in life.
Endorsements:
"An upbeat cancer tale, by a prostate cancer survivor, that features jobs, friends, sports and political action in an honest, light-hearted way--without the truck of many cancer-related books that feature causes and cures.
A good yarn about good people facing tough times and, for the most part, prevailing."

"A great book, entertaining and easy to understand, without a large number of characters to keep track of. Well-written by a first-time author, Terry Leiden, who is both a prostate cancer survivor and a great softball player and coach....
This book is a story about five survivors who also play softball. Through various methods, they are able to play the game they love. As a retired veterinarian and a prostate cancer survivor, I understand their problems."

All-Tournament Player, World Team, All-American Team MVP"Terry Leiden has put together a sometimes humorous, sometimes whimsical and sometimes poignant story about the AARP generation. Drawing on his own experiences as a senior softballer, a senior in America’s workforce and a senior lay person, he touches on subjects that affect us all. Whether it be the valiant efforts put forth by a not-so-talented but certainly dedicated senior softball team, the health care issues that confront all of us as we near retirement or the passion to take up a cause and make it known to the general public, Leiden tackles all these situations with verve….I find more truth in this fictional account than in what many perceive as the reality of senior life. Leiden has done what more authors need to do: show senior life for what it really is--a vibrant, contributing and essential factor in America’s society."
