An award-winning, modern-day retelling of the fairytale-Rapunzel...
Caught between feuding parents in a bitter divorce, Tristan is depressed and disenchanted, shutting out the world at every turn... until one day, when trying to retrieve a lost baseball, he climbs through an attic window and meets a girl...
With long golden hair and a sunshine smile, Helena's like no one he's ever met. She's quirky, weird, and lives in an imaginary world-her only way of coping with the bizarre life her mentally ill mother forces her to lead. Trapped in her tower, she somehow still finds a way to experience a joy Tristan is far from feeling. Drawn to her effervescent nature, Tristan keeps climbing through her attic window... and falling in love with his Rapunzel.
But can true love last when Helena's mother is determined to keep them apart?
Can Tristan find the strength to fight for the girl who has awakened his soul?
Or will the paranoid woman who keeps her daughter under lock and key stop their dreams from coming true?
