Many years ago, a kente, a beautiful, brightly colored African cloth, brought its magic to the people of the Ashanti tribe. When the African people were sold into slavery, the kente was sold, too. Though the years have left it in tatters, it has kepts its power.
Hundred of years have passed. Now Jacob, a poor, unhappy boy from the city, needs the kente's magic.
