Summery: Based on the fairy tale Rapunzel, the book
is set up in alternating points of view from chapter to chapter that
include the mother, Zel, and the noble boy. This book delves deep into

and beautiful tale of a young girl of innocence the book quickly turns
as the disturbing truth about the mother is divulged.
