High School Musical : Broadway Dreams

---

Marrying Mom is a witty and satirical novel by Olivia Goldsmith, renowned for her incisive portrayals of family dynamics and societal norms. The story centers on Phyllis Geronomous, a spirited 69-year-old widow who, disenchanted with retirement life in Florida, relocates to New York City to be closer to her three adult children. Her unexpected arrival disrupts their lives: Sigourney, a high-strung stockbroker; Sharon, a mother grappling with marital issues; and Bruce, a gay entrepreneur facing personal and professional challenges. To reclaim their autonomy, the siblings devise "Operation Geezer Quest," a humorous scheme to find their mother a wealthy suitor, thereby redirecting her attention away from their affairs. Through sharp dialogue and comedic scenarios, Goldsmith explores themes of familial obligation, aging, and the complexities of parent-child relationships. The novel offers a poignant yet humorous examination of the lengths to which individuals will go to balance personal freedom with familial responsibilities.
