A Grandfather-and-Grandsons Road Trip with Complications

Set over a two-day outing to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, The Trip brings a nearly 70-year-old grandfather together with his five adolescent grandsons. What begins as his determined attempt to take them away becomes more complicated after an encounter with “Ms. Bikini.” The book centers on the group’s shared misadventures and the personal discoveries that emerge along the way, including moments that challenge their assumptions about themselves. Family memory, intergenerational connection, and the changing relationship between a grandfather and his grandsons shape this short travel-based story.
