"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.
No one captures the heartwarming fun of the Christmas season quite like Melody Carlson. Fasten your seat belt, because it's going to be an exciting ride!"

Review:
"The Christmas Joy Ride" by Melody Carlson
What I liked about this novel....
This was a likable short Christmas story that will put a smile of your face. "The Christmas of Ride" was just that...as Joy puts a smile of many faces on her way to her new place in Phoenix. With Miranda who was a neighbor of Joy's...who knew that when she decided to travel with Joy would give her a Christmas like she had never known. What Joy will do on this trip will blow you mind...Now, to find out you must pick up this wonderful read to see how well the author will bring it all out to the reader. It will be a read that you will not forget of how a little thing can turn out to be a big thing for someone who feels they have been forgotten. I loved how this author was able to give the readers such a wonder joy ride on 'Route 66.' Definitely what happens during this trip will turn out to be quite a interesting one especially for Miranda. I found this novel to be a very inspirational as well aa uplifting and will definitely get you in the spirit of the holiday season. Would I recommend? YES!
