In partnership with Texas Monthly, Skip Hollandsworth's "Still Life" is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program.

Thirty-five years ago, Dallas--and the country--was gripped by the tragic story of John McClamrock, a high school football player paralyzed during a violent tackle. But after the newspapers moved on, another story was quietly unfolding, one of courage, perseverance, and a mother's fierce love.
Since joining the Texas Monthly staff in 1989, executive editor SKIP HOLLANDSWORTH has received several journalism awards, including a National Headliners Award. He has been a finalist four times for a National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize, and in 2010 he won the National Magazine Award in feature writing for "Still Life." His true crime history, The Midnight Assassin, about a series of murders that took place in Austin in 1885, was published in April 2016 by Henry Holt and Co.
