Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe DiPietro

Over the River and Through the Woods is a warm-hearted, boisterously funny, and touching story about intergenerational relationships, deep familial love, and the inevitable little heartbreaks that occur as time passes and children grow.

Nick joins his beloved, but annoying, grandparents for their traditional Sunday dinner to tell them the job he’s been waiting for—marketing executive—would take him across the country. The news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. The four grandparents do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner a lovely—and single—lady as bait.
