A Bag Away From Goldstein's

Brett Fein is thirty years old when addiction takes his life in a frozen Philadelphia parking lot.
His father, Stanley, is left behind to make sense of the son he thought he knew—and the death he cannot explain.
For years, Stanley believed he had done everything a father was supposed to do. He provided. He pushed. He expected more. He built a life around success, appearances, and the conviction that if he held tightly enough to what was right, his family would somehow remain protected.
Then Brett dies.
In the forty-eight hours between his son's death and funeral, Stanley is forced to confront the questions grief refuses to answer. How much did he really know about Brett? Why didn't his son come to him? Could he have saved him? And beneath the anger, guilt, and desperate search for someone to blame lies a question far more painful:
What if Brett had been asking for help all along—and his father simply didn't know how to hear him?
A Bag Away From Goldstein's is a raw, intimate portrait of a father confronting his son's addiction only after there is no longer anything he can do to change its ending.
There are no easy answers here.
Only a father, a dead son, and the truth that finally emerges when there is nothing left to explain.
