The Christmas Joy Ride ~ Melody Carlson

This is a Christmas story about giving to those that need a miracle during the holiday season.  It is about Joy and Miranda taking a road trip from Chicago to Phoenix while driving along route 66.  From a contest, a few people have asked to have a little Christmas cheer into their lives of family and friends.  Along the way Joy has decide to spread the love of Christmas in different ways to those that they have chosen from the contest. 

This is a very short read, that will charm your heart and make you realize the blessings that you have in your own life.  It will make you think and feel good about giving and not receiving.

I would recommend this book to any age and especially for those that want a good afternoon read that will make you feel good.  I enjoyed this book and found the ending not one that you would expect when you start reading.  I always like this author and again she did not disappoint and gives a great read.
