"Joy Express" by Jody Day is a short read and thought it starts out as a dangerous time in Bailey's life it turns into joy for her and her family. This is not a happy ever lasting story for all of the characters but it is for most of the characters.

This book touches on abuse and , yes, cancer and kidnapping.

I would recommend this book to all readers who like a little danger ( without real graphics detailed) in the stories they read.

It mentions Christmas, but I really wouldn't consider this a Christmas story but there is a scene where gifts are given out.

This is a story about what real love is and how families come together to help another in trouble.

I was given a complementary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Jody

I’m so excited about the release of Joy Express. It’s the culmination of a series that began in my heart on the way home from the first writer’s conference I ever attended. The East Texas Writer’s Conference was held at my alma mater, East Texas Baptist College, which is now University. I was incredibly inspired, and on I20 toward Dallas I saw a sign that said Washout Express, Exit 477. Turns out that was giant truck wash. My thought was, “What would it be like to be totally washed out, washed up, and at the end of your rope?” I’d been there and was on the other side, but I wanted to write a story about the process. Bailey Brown was born. Joy Express is Book 3 in the series and follows Bailey and Scott through a series of tremendous obstacles, and how their faith and family got them to the other side. It’s not tied up with a nice little bow, life is rarely like that, but it does come to a redemptive pause in their story. I hope you’ll pick it up and read the message of faith. You can come back from anything.
