Three generations of a boisterous Irish family's simmering tensions spill over when an American home aide enters the scene, becoming the calamitous force that will either undo or remake this family—perfect for fans of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, and Evvie Drake Starts Over.
Kevin Gogarty has no choice but to hire a caretaker to keep an eye on his irrepressible eighty-three-year-old mother, Millie. Kevin, who was recently laid off, is still at his wits' end trying to keep up with a full house while his wife works in exotic locations, leaving him alone with his sulky, misbehaving teenaged daughter, Aideen, whose problems worsen when she befriends the campus rebel at her new boarding school.Sylvia, Millie's upbeat American home aide, joins the Gogarty fray and appears to be their saving grace—until she catapults the Gogarty clan into their greatest crisis yet.
Good Eggs is a delightful study of self-determination, the idea that it's never too late to start living, and the one-of-a-kind salvation that family, despite its maddening shortcomings, can bring.
