Publisher's Synopsis
Father Greeley has long charmed readers with this ongoing chronicles of the crazy O'Malleys, an irrepressible Irish-American family caught up in the rush of modern American history. The previous novels in this saga have taken the long-time Chicago residents from the 1940s through the 1970s. Now, in Golden Years, Chucky O'Malley and his clan enter the Reagan years and a series of shocks tests the family's strength as never before. The death of Chuckey's father brings the entire brood together to mourn, but what should be a time of unity is disrupted by the erratic behaviour of Chucky's unstable older sister. Plus, as if their own struggles are not enough, Chucky and his wife, Rosemarie, must help an old high school friend, whose beloved wife and daughter have inexplicably disappeared. There will be hard days ahead, but, with love and more than a bit of faith, the O'Malleys will bury their dead, dry their tears, and try to make the best of their...Golden Years.
