The Fitzgeralds are buttressed by wealth and privilege, but they
are also buffeted by crisis after crisis, many of their own
creation. Even so, they live large, in love and in strife, wielding
power, combating adversaries and each other. The Good Family
Fitzgerald is a saga of money and ambition, crime and the Catholic
Church, a sprawling, passionate story shaped against a background
of social discord. Padraic Fitzgerald is the up-from-nothing, aging
patriarch whose considerable business interests appear anything but
legitimate, but he has bigger problems than law enforcement. A
widower, Paddy becomes enmeshed with a young woman who will force
him to re-examine his cardinal assumptions. Meanwhile, he has
cultivated thorny relationships with his four children, all of whom
struggle over the terms of connection with their father.
Anthony-oldest son, principled criminal defense attorney,
designated prince of the family-and his cherished Francesca are
devastated by tragedy. In the aftermath, Frankie comes to play a
vital role in Fitzgerald lore. Philip is a charismatic Catholic
priest spectacularly torn between his lofty ideals and aspirations
and his all-too-human flaws and longings. Matty has wandered
aimlessly, but once he finds his purpose, he precipitates turmoil
in all quarters. Colleen, the youngest, is a seeker who styles
herself the outsider and the conscience of the clan. Her hands are
full, as no Fitzgerald is left untested or unscathed, and by the
end the whole family, as well as those venturing into their realm,
will be stunned into illumination.
