Review: Some Christmas Joy for the Ranch
Rating: 5 out of 5

Patty Devlin's story "Christmas Joy" with the main characters, Nick and Joy, was heartwarming. Nick finds Joy hitching an uninvited ride in his truck and chases down what he thinks is a young boy only to discover it is a woman.  Nick has been raising his three brothers for 6 years and has a dominant, take charge personality.  He takes Joy into their house and she has to follow the rules or else!  You found yourself cheering for Joy and hoping she can have a real Christmas. The "boys" were very sweet and their different personalities had you falling in love with them all.  Sam is the oldest at 22 and is sweet and kind.  Charlie is autistic and doesn't adapt to change well.  And, Tony is 12 and is slightly rebellious and afraid of suffering loss.  It is a great story and Christmas is woven into every chapter.
