Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my second DeBlassie story and I enjoyed this one as well! This story centers around the story of La Llorona, a story of a woman who went mad, drowned her own children in the water, and continues to haunt women to the same fate. Unfortunately for the women in a small town in New Mexico, the danger of enduring the same fate and the life struggles of sacrifice or willingness to stand up for what’s right is a constant plaguing factor. After losing her best friend, Mercy fights her way to break the mold and cycle of this horrible fate and she does whatever is in her ability to not become a victim herself. DeBlassie does such a great job in connecting elements of racism and domestic violence in aspects in which it is familiar and emerges as a source of the story to make those connections.
