Roctogenarians

“This book is a hell of a ride. With Roctogenarians, Mo Rocca shows us how people breaking barriers later in life is nothing new. Take it from me, eighty is no time to take the foot off the gas.” — Eighty-four-year-old race car legend Mario Andretti, Only Driver to win the Indy 500, The Daytona 500, and the Formula 1 World Championship

“Mo Rocca is a fabulous storyteller. I know firsthand how deeply appreciative he is of his subjects. And, in a time when people are so easily dismissed or ‘cancelled,’ this book celebrates the great wisdom, grace, determination, achievement, and value that comes with age. At 80 years old, I’m still rocking it. And I don’t mean in a porch chair!” — Leslie Uggams, Tony and Emmy Award-winning Star of Stage and Screen

“A fun collection of stories that give a heartening perspective on living life to the fullest….. Such is the charm of Rocca’s latest compilation, which demonstrates the importance of passion and resilience at all stages of life, even the latter years….readers of all ages and backgrounds can find inspiration in these pages.” — Kirkus Reviews
