The Christmas Joy Ride

Author: Melody Carlson
Genre: Fiction / Christmas
Publisher: Baker Publishing Group, 2015
Pages: 176
Rating: Recommend

Synopsis: Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her eighty-five-year-old neighbor, Joy, that's exactly what he's getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she has 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 then 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.

Review: Another Melody Carlson that I felt was too rushed at the end, although this ending was more plausible than that in A Christmas by the Sea. I love a good road trip, and this was a fun book.
