Lessons from a life of big dreams, insanely bad circumstances, and starting over.

Life is unpredictable. Life is painful. Life is hilarious. Life is amazing.
So sit down.
Shut up.
Hold on.
What do professional baseball, fishing boats, failed businesses, family chaos, medical crises, financial collapse, faith, and starting over have in common? They are all part of Clay Eavenson’s story.
Not polished stories from a man who always made the right call. Bad decisions, unexpected consequences, broken dreams — written down exactly as they happened.
Answered prayers, unanswered prayers, family, friendship, faith, anger and laughter. Some chapters are deeply serious. Others are completely ridiculous. Many are both.
Protecting the people you love, knowing when to let go, finding meaning inside hard circumstances, and beginning again without pretending the last chapter didn’t happen.
This is not a book about avoiding failure.
It is about discovering that failure is not always the end of the story.
Husband. Father. Former professional baseball player with the New York Yankees. Former real estate agent. Former fishing guide. Current entrepreneur — and a reluctant expert in rebuilding after disaster.
Clay writes with the kind of honesty that admits he was often the common denominator in his own problems, and with the humor needed to survive that realization.
