Subway Love

If her parents had never divorced, Laura wouldnt have to live in the shadow of Bruce, her moms unpredictable boyfriend. Her mom wouldnt say things like "Be groovy," and Laura wouldnt panic every weekend on the way to Dads Manhattan apartment. But when Laura spots a boy on a facing platform, lifting a camera to his face, looking right at her, Laura feels anything but afraid, and she cant forget him. Jonas, meanwhile, thinks nonstop about the pretty hippie girl he glimpsed on the platform — trying to comprehend how she vanished, but mostly wondering whether he will see her again in a city of millions — and whether if he searches, he would have any chance of finding her. In a lyrical meditation on love, Nora Raleigh Baskin explores the souls ability to connect, and heal, outside the bounds of time and reason.
