Nick Cristano may be a young professional in New York City, but his family never lets him forget that he belongs in New Jersey, in the bosom of his tenacious, loud, albeit tender-hearted Italian-American grandparents from Hoboken who lavish all of their affection on their last unmarried grandchild. Faithfully, Nick goes over the river to Grandmas house every Sunday for dinner. When he is offered a promotion in Seattle, Nick considers relocating to Washington. Frank, Aida, Emma, and Nunzio are heartbroken at the idea of their grandson raising a family all the way across the countryor not raising a family at all. Along with emotional blackmail, in order to make him stay, they cook up a matchmaking scheme, inviting a lovely nurse over for Sunday dinner. Will the prospect of true love keep Nick from leaving home? 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.
