The women of Sue\u00f1o, New Mexico don\u2019t know how to live a life without sorrows. That\u2019s La Llorona\u2019s doing. 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. And there\u2019s 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. That\u2019s what attracts her to them: the pain and heartache that gets passed down from one generation of women to the next.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mercy knows this, probably better than anyone. She lost her best friend to La Llorona and almost found a watery grave herself. But she survived. Only she didn\u2019t come back quite right and she knows La Llorona won\u2019t be satisfied until she drags the one soul that got away back to the bottom of the river.<\/em><\/p>\n

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. What unfolds is a stunning tale of one woman\u2019s journey into magic, healing, and rebirth.<\/em><\/p>\n
