Publisher's summary
*Now a major Hallmark film starring Danielle Panabaker and Matt Long*
Nancy Naigle's Christmas Joy is a heartwarming Christmas audiobook about family, friendship and finding love in unexpected places.
Joy Holbrook might be all work and no play, but that changes when her Aunt Ruby takes a fall that lands her in a rehabilitation center before the holidays. Joy takes a leave of absence from her job as a market researcher to run the family farm, even though the timing may hinder her chance at garnering the promotion of her dreams.
Ben Andrews isn’t your average accountant. He also happens to be the handiest man in Crystal Falls. He’s helped his elderly neighbor, Ruby Johnson, decorate for the annual Christmas Home Tour—and win—the last several years. He’s not about to let some drop-in niece break their winning streak.
Ruby seems overly concerned about Joy being able to handle Molly. Under the impression she’s referring Molly the bunny that is one of the menagerie of animals, Joy’s not worried at all until the next morning when a little girl named Molly shows up. For the sake of her aunt, Joy is forced to partner with Ben while Ruby is on the mend to help with preparation for the Christmas tour and, in the process finds her career-focused heart dreaming of a family.
Will the magic of Christmas help her to open her heart and find her everlasting joy?

Great message and full of Christmas spirit
I loved the characters in this book and how they grew and changed through out the story. This book is full of Christmas spirit but could be enjoyed any time of the year. The writing is excellent and there is no “cheese” in this book. I will definitely listen to more of this author.

meh...
the first several chapters were soooooo slow. Even until the end, Joy could not make up her mind and was very hard to like. Could have been so much better.
