Damaged Goods: A Novel
About this audiobook
A Wall Street trader. A sister's final secret. An impossible choice.
When Brendan O'Shay's estranged sister dies unexpectedly, he inherits something unimaginable—custody of her frozen eggs. The discovery forces him, his wife Laura, and their teenage son Shannon to confront grief, loyalty, and the haunting question of what it means to bring a part of Cassie back to life.
Set in New England during the 2008 financial crisis, Damaged Goods explores how ambition and guilt intersect with love and duty. As Brendan's search for a future for his sister's frozen eggs becomes a test of conscience, the novel unfolds across Boston, Westport, Manhattan, and Cape Cod, tracing the fault lines of a family in crisis.
With the emotional subtlety of Ann Patchett, the realism of Richard Russo, and the moral depth of Ian McEwan, this debut is a layered, upmarket family drama about forgiveness, legacy, and the quiet courage of difficult choices.
