Washed up isn't the end.
It's what the tide leaves behind.
At twenty-one, Marcus Moles watched his father die of brain cancer. At twenty-five, his hockey career ended. At thirty-three, he bought his dream house, started a family, and began connecting the dots.
This is that book.
About the book
On grief, fatherhood, and starting over.
Written over a decade, Washed Up is eighteen letters on identity, momentum, marriage, and fatherhood — followed by three entries on grief, and a closing essay on what remains.
His dad is the throughline. Beau is the destination. Kayla is how he got there.
Integrated with original photography. No digital edition.
"I didn't start this book knowing what it was. I started it because I needed to."— Molesy, Part I
