The story of a woman haunted by the Mexican folk demon La Llorona
as she unravels the dark secrets of her family history in this
ravishing and provocative horror novel from the author of Alien:
Vasquez. Alejandra no longer knows who she is. To her husband, she
is a wife, and to her children, a mother. But they cannot see who
Alejandra has become: a woman struggling with a darkness that
threatens to consume her. Nor can they see what Alejandra sees. In
times of despair, a ghostly vision appears to her, the apparition
of a crying woman in a ragged white gown. When Alejandra visits a
therapist, she begins exploring her family's history, starting with
the biological mother she only recently rediscovered. As she goes
deeper into the lives of the women in her family, she learns that
heartbreak and tragedy are not the only things she has in common
with her ancestors. Because the crying woman was with them, too.
She is La Llorona, the vengeful and murderous mother of Mexican
legend. And she will not leave until Alejandra follows her
grandmother, and all the women who came before her into the
darkness. But Alejandra has inherited more than just pain. She has
inherited the strength and the courage of her foremothers-and she
will have to summon everything they have given her to banish La
Llorona forever.
