Good Eggs
When Kevin Gogarty’s irrepressible eighty-three-year-old mother Millie is caught shoplifting yet again, he has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on her. Kevin, unemployed father of four, is already at his wits’ end, increasingly resentful that the responsibilities of childrearing and housekeeping have fallen on him while his wife pursues her glamorous career.
Rivaling his vivacious, noncompliant mother for Chief Tester of Kevin’s Patience is his teenaged daughter, Aideen, the black sheep of the family whose troubles only escalate when she’s sent off to boarding school and befriends the campus rebel.
Into the Gogartys’ calamitous world steps Sylvia Phenning, Millie’s buoyant American home aide who appears at first to be a guardian angel until she catapults the Gogartys into their greatest crisis yet.
With charm, humor, and pathos to spare, Good Eggs is a delightful study in self-determination, the notion that it’s never too late to start living, and the unique redemption that family, despite its maddening flaws, can offer.
