You're fifteen, spending your time at school and at Val's hair salon with Baker, Val's son, whose eyes 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 grows upwards and outwards into a wild landscape, becoming trees and leaves, housing birds and butterflies and all the secret creatures that belong in such a forest.

Rapunzella, Or, Don't Touch My Hair introduces Rapunzella, 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. 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 are more than just a dream?
