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 is a work of literary family fiction that explores the fault lines between ambition and compassion. As Brendan’s success on Wall Street collides with the unraveling of his home life, his search for nurturing parents for the frozen eggs becomes a journey through love, forgiveness, and the fragile boundary between redemption and self-destruction.
With the emotional depth of Ann Patchett, the realism of Richard Russo, and the moral tension of Ian McEwan, Damaged Goods delivers an upmarket family drama that lingers long after the last page—perfect for book clubs and readers drawn to ethical dilemmas, second chances, and stories about how the past shapes the future.
If you enjoy contemporary literary fiction that asks “What would I do?”, you’ll be captivated by Damaged Goods.
