Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() What unfolds is a stunning tale of one woman’s journey into magic, healing, and rebirth.ĬW: assault, domestic violence, racism, colorism In a battle for her life, Mercy fights to break the chains of generational trauma and reclaim her soul free from ancestral hauntings by turning to the only things that she knows can save her: plant medicine, pulp books, and the promise of a love so strong not even La Llorona can stop it from happening. ![]() Only she didn’t come back quite right and she knows La Llorona won’t be satisfied until she drags the one soul that got away back to the bottom of the river. ![]() She lost her best friend to La Llorona and almost found a watery grave herself. Mercy knows this, probably better than anyone. That’s what attracts her to them: the pain and heartache that gets passed down from one generation of women to the next. And there’s not much they can do about the Weeping Woman except to avoid walking along the riverbank at night and to try to keep their sadness in check. She roams the waterways looking for the next generation of girls to baptize, filling them with more tears than any woman should have to hold. The women of Sueño, New Mexico don’t know how to live a life without sorrow. A compelling gothic fairytale by bruja and award-winning writer Maria DeBlassie. ![]()
