You make plans, and God laughs-right? Thank goodness He passed that sense of humor along to author Clay Boatright. The Boatright family journey started with promise but was soon plagued with severe obstacles that could have turned Clay's life into one of bitterness and resentment. But through his faith and love of family, he instead found joy and purpose.

Their family odyssey was perilous. Through his wife's early cancer, their twins severe autism and intellectual disabilities, the daily effort of supporting his family financially and caring for three daughters at home, national advocacy for people with disabilities, and painful farewell to his wife, Clay proved that life-and the circus it often becomes-can be handled with humor, grace, and faith.
