Zoe dreams of being a piano prodigy, of playing classical music at Carnegie Hall in a long, elegant dress.  But her agoraphobic dad has trouble saying no to salesmen, so instead of a piano, what she gets is a Perfectone organ and a chance to perform Neil Diamond&#8217;s &#8220;Forever in Blue Jeans&#8221; at the [...]]]></description>

A train gets stuck in a snowstorm in Gracetown, NC (a literally one-Starbucks town, as we&#8217;ll soon see), late on Christmas Eve.*  Revolving around this event are three interconnected tales of teen love, angst, and romping in the snow.
