Involvement in a barbaric dog-fighting ring brought Michael Vick's NFL career down just as he was becoming the poster boy of the league as a star quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons.
He was a few years into a 10-year, $130 million blockbuster deal that made him the league's highest-paid player. But in a span of four years, Vick went from being the NFL's highest-paid player to an imprisoned ex-player filing for bankruptcy, having to reach out to former teammates for loans and facing a future that most thought wouldn't include football again.
His future with his family, with football, and with life in general was bleak.
Finally Free chronicles Michael's days growing up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, when he began playing football and his success on the field in high school and college, his rise to stardom in the NFL, his involvement with drugs, dog-fighting, and other not-so-pretty incidents in his life. But it also tells the story of how a broken man sought and received forgiveness for his wrongs, was shown grace by the most unlikely people and had a fairy tale-like NFL season in 2010 that most thought could have only been topped had he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl title. Michael desires this book to be used to help people, especially youth, steer away from the kind of traps he found himself in at a young age and avoid the heartache he caused so many because of his wrongs.
