This Train is Being Held

Alexis a baseball player. A great one. His papi is pushing him to go pro, but Alex maybe wants to be a poet. Not that Papi would understand or allow that.

Isais a dancer. She’d love to go pro, if only her Havana-born mom weren’t dead set against it…just like she’s dead set against her daughter falling for a Latino. And Isa’s privileged private-school lifewith her dad losing his job and her older brother struggling with mental illnessis falling apart. Not that she’d ever tell that to Alex.

Fateand the New York City subwaybring Alex and Isa together. Is it enough to keep them together when they need each other most?
