Apparently you can sue the Mafia and live to tell about it. In his dynamic autobiography, Doug Dane explains the extraordinary circumstances that led to this conflict when his life was threatened, and how he survived. This true story about the author and his wife, Kerri James, is told in graphic terms in HOLDING ON - I Sued the Mafia and Lived to Tell About It (The Story of Sundance Dane and Kerri James). The book took ten years to write. It is the story of a man whose life occupation had been waste recycling, processing, trucking and disposal, with a lifelong goal of developing a system of waste recovery parks throughout the world. An amateur boxer, Dane still competed at age 61, against opponents 30 and 40 years younger than himself. "I have won the Southern California Golden Gloves Championship several times, and I believe that much of age is a state of mind." He was motivated to write his memoir by the brave people who, no matter what the cost, never give up, and "when I re-met my first love." About the Author: Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, first-time author Doug Dane now resides with his wife in Santa Barbara, California.
