The Last Play
About this audiobook
Ken Holloway had it all—fame, fortune, and the golden promise of a football legacy. As Jefferson High’s star quarterback, he was a local legend, untouchable in talent and ego. But when an inexplicable injury ends his career, Ken’s world unravels into silence, shame, and a haunting void.
With his endorsements gone and reputation in tatters, Ken must confront the man behind the jersey. The Last Play is a raw, emotionally gripping journey of reckoning and redemption. As Ken rebuilds his life from the ashes, he discovers purpose beyond the field—mentoring at-risk youth, creating a podcast that gives voice to the voiceless, and redefining what it means to succeed.
This is not a story of a fall. It is a story of a rise—slow, painful, but deeply human. A story that challenges the toxic myths of masculinity, performance, and perfection.
The Last Play is a powerful reminder that the truest triumphs are often the quietest—and that real legacy is never about the game, but what we do after the whistle blows.
