Publisher's summary

Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her 85-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!

Sweet, Light & Christmasy

This book was a much needed breath of fresh , chilled air. I needed a light, nice sweet story after a long few months.

Inspiring

I love that the title was a play on words. The main characters name is Joy and shes on a Christmas quest! How cool!

Like a Hallmark Christmas movie

If you enjoy the Hallmark channel you will like this book. I thought it would be a nice change from my usual murder mysteries, and be a lighthearted book to read at Christmas. The story was trite and predictable, but the two main characters were likable so I plowed through. The narrator made it even worse, her voice was very high and breathy so all the female characters sounded like they were about seven years old. And her over enunciation drove me crazy. If you like Harlequin Romances and the Care Bears, I highly recommend this book!
