"From playing professional baseball in the Dominican Republic to the ins and outs of harness racing and a career in sales, Alan goes from one exciting adventure to another-and then there's that little white powder that somehow shows up wherever he goes and spoils whatever plans he has. What a story! What a triumphant tale of the human spirit's power to overcome."
