Worldly Goods

🎶 "Every record tells a story. Every story spins a truth." 🎶 His siblings got the worldly goods—business, house, heirlooms. Danny Goods got 7,500 vinyl records and a lingering sense of injustice. For six years, the collection gathers dust. Then, with plans to sell, Danny begins flipping through the sleeves… and finds something unexpected. Hidden inside select albums are letters from his late father, Bill—each one a portal to a memory, a moment, a melody that shaped a life. As Danny journeys through genres and decades, what begins as a reluctant inventory becomes a soulful excavation. With each LP, he uncovers not just his father’s past, but his own identity, long buried beneath resentment and regret. A story of music, memory, and the messy beauty of inheritance, this novel will make you laugh, maybe cry, and definitely think twice about what we leave behind—and what we’re really searching for. You’ve been warned. And invited. Drop the needle. Let the story spin.
