More about the book

Father Andrew M. Greeley, a beloved storyteller, continues the saga of the O'Malleys, a resilient Irish American family navigating modern American history. Following the previous installments, which chronicled their journey from the postwar era to the 1970s, the O'Malleys now face the challenges of the Reagan years. The death of Chucky O'Malley's elderly father brings the family together for mourning, but the occasion is marred by the erratic behavior of Chucky's emotionally unstable sister, sparking a crisis that endangers the family. Amidst their own turmoil, Chucky and his wife, Rosemarie, are drawn into a mystery involving an old friend whose wife and daughter have vanished without a trace. To uncover the whereabouts of Brigid "Bride" O'Brien and her child, they must navigate a complex web of intrigue that spans from Ireland to the shadowy corners of the Cold War. Despite the hardships they face, the O'Malleys rely on love and faith to confront their challenges, striving to honor their past while making the most of their "Golden Years."
