your question (with the book clarification) would be better suited for https://help.openstreetmap.org/ . Please search the old questions before asking – you may find an answer already.
If it’s a public route (like a hiking, sightseeing or cycling route, published in tourist guides and marked somewhere in the terrain), it can be added into OpenStreetMap, as a route relation including road segments of which the route consists. It might be complicated for a newbie, feel free to ask for help.
Otherwise, maybe try uMap (mentioned by a colleague above) or QGIS (free desktop software, capable of producing book-quality printed maps).

Just to show friends or so? If that is the case, give uMap a look:

No, I actually need to use it in a book. I’ll have a look.

I guess http://maperitive.net/ might be interesting then (I haven’t used it though).

If I’s a well known route, you could use a relation within OpenStreetMap database.
