review 1: There really isn't much of a reivew to write.

But within the heart of every Christmas lies a special surprise for everyone...Christmas Eve morning at a crowded airport threatens to become Christmas Day when a heavy snowfall waylays five strangers on their way to Asheville, North Carolina. Marta's traveling with two children and the weight of a bitter divorce on her shoulders...Andy, a widower and Vietnam vet, reminisces at the airport bar when he notices the presence of a female soldier...Specialst Ilena is on leave from Iraq, fraught with guilt about leaving her comrades...Reggie, a laid-off assembly worker, c... moreontemplates his uncertain future...and wealthy businessman John is troubled by the untimely death of his high-powered workaholic father.As the travelers reflect on their lives, a new challenge soon arises: their plane is grounded. But in the spirit of the season, a good samaritan offers to drive them to Asheville.

review 2: I greatly enjoyed reading this book, It is the story of eight people getting stranded in an airport on Christmas Eve and the woman who arrives with her van to take them to their designations, which all happen to b e the same town. It has people from all walks of life and tells the problems they have and how being stranded on a mountain with Strangers on Christmas Eve can help you put your life in a better perspective. less

Cute book, great holiday storyline. Predictable but still a humble read nonetheless.
