Penney traces his journey from a “lost” teenager to Marine, then a Navy SEAL in the U.S. military’s most elite unit, detailing combat missions, the hyper‑competitive culture of special operations, and the toll it took on his marriages, mental health, and sense of self. The memoir pivots when he unexpectedly becomes a single father with full custody, forcing him to apply the discipline and courage of a warrior to the very different challenges of raising children alone. Each chapter ends with a “hot wash”—a candid debrief of mistakes, lessons, and spiritual insights—framing the story as one of repentance, healing from visible and invisible wounds, and discovering that real strength is found in vulnerability, faith, and fatherhood.
