Can This Be Christmas by Debbie Macomber
Holiday romance novella.
A train traveling on Christmas Eve gets stranded by a snowstorm in a New Hampshire depot.
They started out as strangers. Unaware or uninterested in their fellow passengers but by the end of their forced time-out sitting on the train, they became co-conspirators on behalf of the holiday where kindness, and open hearts make the night a special journey to remember.

Touching and beautiful. The group shares in the spirits of the holiday even though they all had personal plans or troubles.
A small miracle of the season that particular night. Sweet and lovely.
