The Prodigal Playlist

Jayden “DJ Prodigy” Carter lives for the drop, the beat, the roar of the crowd. But when his hunger for fame leads him to betray his roots—and his pastor father—he swaps gospel truth for the city’s empty glow. Fame hits hard… and fades faster.

Left with no money, no friends, and no stage, Jayden finds himself sleeping in shelters and haunted by regrets. Until one night, a dusty piano in the corner of a soup kitchen draws him back to the only melody that ever mattered. When his raw remix of a childhood hymn unexpectedly goes viral, Jayden is faced with his toughest track yet: the long road home.

The Prodigal Playlist is a heart-thumping, soul-healing journey of beats, betrayal, and redemption. A modern-day prodigal son story wrapped in rhythm and grace, it’s for every reader who wonders if they’ve gone too far—and for every heart still waiting to come home.
