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.
Is there a future where such possibility and power is more than
just a dream?
