Miranda Fortner has had a whole string of misfortunes and she isn’t looking forward to Christmas. When Miranda’s 80-year-old neighbor, Joy, asks Miranda to come with her on journey across Route 66, Miranda thinks Joy is crazy but agrees to go along with her. What Joy has planned for their trip, is not exactly what Miranda expected. Joy has planned a Christmas Joy Ride. She wants to go down Route 66 spreading Christmas cheer to others. As they begin their adventure, Miranda isn’t so sure that she should have agreed to come along after all. Miranda soon learns that she did indeed make the right decision to accompany Joy on this adventure. As the two go about spreading joy and happiness to others, they soon realize that they are being blessed as well.

I love the Christmas season and was excited to read this Christmas novel. I was not disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. This book has a great reminder about the joy of giving and it reminds us that it is better to give than to receive. I found myself wanting to join Miranda and Joy on their trip. Now I want to try and find a new tradition for me and my family to do at Christmas time to share Christmas with others. I would highly recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Publishing in exchange for my honest review.
