Summary:
Alejandra
no longer knows who she is. To her husband, she is a wife, and to her children, a mother. To her own adoptive mother, she is a daughter. 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 never knew. 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 mother, 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.
