Nowhere To Run is a daring memoir illustrating the wonderful highs of Wisconsin Badger football coupled with the dreadful depths of addiction. This classic tale of man’s internal struggle leads Montee Ball down a path where he is met with an undeniable and heartbreaking truth. From being a Heisman Trophy finalist to sitting on a cold floor in jail, Montee’s Nowhere To Run is raw, heartbreaking, inspiring, and a powerful piece of contemporary addiction literature.
“As Montee’s primary substance abuse counselor, I can attest to his hard work, perseverance, and humility as he navigated the challenges before him. Witnessing the transition from feelings of guilt, shame, and the absence of purpose, to ones of accountability, forgiveness, and finding one’s self again, allowed for a focus and determination to help not only himself, but ultimately others by providing a message of hope, and inspiration.”
Cory Divine MA, LPC, CSAC
“We all have our own demons. Instead of shame, we can feel shared humanity. And in facing them, we learn courage, empathy, and resilience, which fuel our purpose in life. Montee’s inspiring story is a gift that’s still being written. The best is yet to come.”
