Description
You're fifteen, you spend your time at school and at Val's hair salon with Baker, Val's son, who has eyes that are like falling off a cliff into space. The salon is a space of safety, but also of possibility and dreams ... Dreams of hair so rich and alive that it grow upwards and outwards into a wild landscape, becomes trees and leaves, and houses birds and butterflies and all the secret creatures that belong in such a forest. Rapunzella is born into a coven, founded when the Black women of the kingdom walked away from the tyranny of the evil King Charming. As she grows, so too does the power of the pale King. And when Rapunzella is imprisoned in an enchanted forest made of her own Afro, the might of the pale King seems unstoppable. But is it Can Rapunzella use her power to change the future Is there a future where such possibility and power is more than just a dream
