Ken's Story
How Defying My Odds Came to Be
Ken Holloway isn't a professional author or a treatment provider. He's someone who lived through active addiction, hit a breaking point, and made the decision to change. Defying My Odds is his firsthand account of that experience, written honestly, without dressing it up.
This isn't a guide, a treatment plan, or a promise of how recovery has to look. It's one person's story, shared in the hope it reaches someone who needs to hear that change is possible. Every purchase and donation helps fund future programs to help addicts.
