"When I read anything from Sheila Roberts, I know I will laugh, cry and close the book with a happy sigh." RaeAnne ThayneFrom USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts, three generations of travelers embark on a Christmas road trip filled with humor and heart, set against the snowy mountains of Washington State. Michelle and Max are not planning on a happy holiday. Their marriage is in shambles and the D word has entered their vocabulary. But now their youngest daughter, Julia, wants everyone to come to her new house in Idaho for Christmas, and she's got the guest room all ready for Mom and Dad. Oh, joy. Their other daughters, Audrey and Shyla, are driving up from California and hoping to meet a sexy rancher for Audrey along the way. What they don't plan on is getting stranded on a ranch when the car breaks down. The ones with the shortest drive are Grandma and Grandpa also known as Hazel and Warren. It's still a bit of a trek, and Hazel doesn't like the idea of driving all that way in snow, but Warren knows they'll have no problem. They have a reliable car and snow tires and chains if they need them. They'll be fine. Surprises lie in store for all three sets of intrepid travelers as they set out on three very different adventures, all leading to one memorable family Christmas.

Ties That Bind

Wonderful adventure as 3 generations of the Trumbull family struggle/strive to make it to a pregnant sibling’s/ daughter’s / granddaughter’s house in Idaho to celebrate Christmas! Health issues, weather delays and car problems hamper their journeys. These delays and the people they are with or meet along the way cause each person to reflect and reevaluate the direction their lives are going and what’s important. Sheila’s insights and humor add to this touching story of second chances and new beginnings.

Holiday Road Trip

Mom & Dad, Grandma & Grandpa, and 2 Sisters are traveling to Idaho for Christmas in 3 separate cars. Each pair has their own set of issues to deal with besides what can happen when driving in the winter weather. Will they be able to work things out before arriving? More importantly will they reach their destination by Christmas? I highly recommend you read the book to find out and learn more about all of their adventures.

Great Holiday Read of Travel at Christmastime!

Sheila Roberts is the Queen of Holiday Stories, and this particular book will not fail to delight anyone who loves holiday books! This story is about a family traveling to be together at Christmas -- and that always entails some adventures and excitement. I especially love the sisters' story as they encounter some car trouble, among other things. Sheila writes believable and entertaining characters -- and this book should appeal to anyone who enjoys a good holiday story. I was sorry to finish the book, as I'd have loved to have known even more. I felt like I'd really gotten to know the characters in this fun holiday book.

Family adventure three fold

As I’ve said many times before, I have yet to meet a Sheila Roberts book that I didn’t love and this one is no exception. She has a special touch when she writes her yearly Christmas book. This one centers around family members traveling from different locations to a daughter/granddaughter/sister’s home in the dead of winter trying to beat the snow. Adventures await them all. One is hospitalized, two are in a near collision with a semi, two others have a flat and no hotel reservations that they thought were confirmed and Julia and family they are all traveling toward begins worrying. A reconciliation, a new love and an agreement to a needed surgery that has been avoided, all add up to circumstances that bring joy and thankfulness to this Christmas family’s celebration. There is always heartwarming feelings, humor and a little happy crying when I read any book by this author. A must read to get ready for the Christmas season and put happiness in your heart! I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author but was not required to write a review positive or otherwise.

A special holiday tale!

The Road to Christmas by Sheila Roberts is a sweet holiday novel. I look forward to reading Sheila Roberts’ latest Christmas story each year. The Road to Christmas has family members traveling to Idaho for Christmas. Julia, Max and Michelle’s youngest daughter, has invited everyone to her new home for the holidays. Max and Michelle are traveling from Washington. It is guaranteed to be a tense trip since the two have been sniping at each other and are weeks away from separating forever. Hazel and Warren, Julia’s grandparents, are traveling from Oregon. The trip gets off to a messy start. Audrey and Shyla, Julia’s sisters, are traveling from California. A flat tire turns into an unexpected blessing for the sisters. I thought the story was well-written with steady pacing. The characters and situations were realistic. I could picture each of the incidents happening to me or one of my family members (one was similar to an experience I had one year). I enjoyed the beautiful descriptions of Leavenworth, Washington. It is a picturesque town during the holidays. I loved the ending which had me smiling. The Road to Christmas shows us how “mishaps can turn into golden opportunities.” This is a story that will get you in the mood for the holidays (is September too early to put up the Christmas tree). The Road to Christmas is about family, forgiveness, second chances, and happiness. There is nothing better than a story that makes you laugh. The Road to Christmas is a special holiday tale with a holiday invite, squabbling sisters, a snowstorm shut down, parent problems, ticker troubles, a car misfortune, and red velvet lava.
