The Last Season: A Father, a Son, and a Lifetime of College Football

by Stuart Stevens - Memoir, Nonfiction, Parenting, Sports

In this fresh and moving account, a son returns to his native South to spend a special autumn with his 95-year-old dad, sharing the unique joys, disappointments and life lessons of Saturdays with their beloved Ole Miss Rebels. As Stuart Stevens began grappling with a profound sense of loss and mortality, he started asking himself some tough questions, not least about his relationship with his father. The two of them had spent little time together for decades. He made a resolution: to invite his father to attend a season of Ole Miss football games together. Now, driving to and from the games, and cheering from the stands, they take stock of their lives as father and son, and as individuals, reminding themselves of their unique, complicated, precious bond.
