Not in Jackson Heights, where she isn't considered Latinx enough and is seen as too PC for her own good. Certainly not at her Manhattan prep school, where her predominantly white classmates pride themselves on being \"woke\". She only has to survive her senior year before she can escape to the prestigious Whyder College, if she can get in. Maybe there, Ale will finally find a place to call her own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe only problem with laying low-- a microaggression thrusts Ale into the spotlight and into the middle of a discussion she didn't ask for.
