Description: "This book is a dark, 21st-century fairytale set to music, short attentions spans, and long, shared familial memories. The narration takes place inside a Black, female body more attached to and comfortable with outside narratives, lyrics, stories, dreams, aspirational relationships, and images, than herself.
