Publisher's Summary

Four old codgers are sick and tired of the abuse and neglect which occur daily in their old­ folks ­home. One has a broken leg for getting involved as he tried to help another with his bed pan. Eventually, the shit hits the fan in protest and arrest. The press is having a field day, the old folks are demonstrating and the 'Four Amigos' are playing cards, getting ready to take matters into their own hands as they vow to conquer 'Hell'­­­ ‘Prudent ­Paradise’.

They actually hire a lawyer, Chi, Clarence's grandson, who sues the State as well as the owners of 'Hell'. The residents go wild with the idea and unite as they pool their resources and purchase Prudent Paradise in the Name of Love.

They change its name to 'Social Security' and become One Big Family, with a bar, pool, hot tubs, pets, the 'O­zone', and a 'Laugh Room'. They learn to Live and Enjoy Life again as sex is on their minds.

Clarence and his Amigo's have their hands full. Sometimes he wonders if he bit off more than he can chew. He falls in Love, which seems to be contagious. Unfortunately, Life is dangerous. Together, they confront destiny in spite of its ups and downs.

Eventually, they challenge greed, corruption and poverty in the Name of Humanity via b4heart.com. For they realize that time is running out as they erect a ‘Wall of Shame’. They only pray that they can make a Difference before it is too late. Their goal is to B4HEART!

This Novel is a little obscene and a bit violent but then again, 'That's Life'. For as Mark Twain proclaimed: 'Man is the only animal that blushes, the only one that needs to.' Alas, you will laugh and you will cry.
