"Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her eighty-five-year-old neighbor Joy, that's exactly what she's getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she plans to drive an old RV decked out in Christmas decorations from their Chicago neighborhood to her new retirement digs in Phoenix--in the dead of winter, no less--the much younger Miranda insists that Joy cannot make such a trip by herself. Besides, a crazy trip with Joy would be more interesting than another Christmas home alone. Unemployed and facing foreclosure, Miranda feels she has nothing to lose by packing a bag and heading off to Route 66. But Joy has a hidden agenda for their Christmas joyride--and a hidden problem that could derail the whole venture."--Amazon.com.

If there is anyone who writes a great Christmas story it is Melody Carlson. I have read several of her books and many of those were Christmas themed. This one was another sheer delight with wonderful characters and a feel good story to put you in the holiday mood. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Christian stories without being preachy.

Head down Route 66...
I've never been big on Christmas books, but when I saw the adorable kitty on the front of Melody Carlson's The Christmas Cat last year, I just knew I had to read it. This year I was excited to find The Christmas Joy Ride. Both the zany front cover and the back cover blurb looked so good! I was right. Melody Carlson has penned a story filled with both poignant moments and humor.
The Christmas Joy Ride is everything cozy and Christmasy and a truly delightful read. At only 168 pages it is the perfect length for a comfy-cozy afternoon. That's what I did, curled up in a chair with my fuzzy blanket and finished it in one afternoon.
One thing just have to say is that this is one gorgeous book! From the nice-sized print and the wreath decorating each chapter number to the dark blue cover and lovely dust jacket, this is one nice book.
Fans of Christmas stories and Melody Carlson are sure to love The Christmas Joy Ride!
(I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.)
