Description
A stay-at-home mother struggling with isolation, despair, and the demands of family begins seeing a ghostly woman in white who whispers of death. As the apparition’s presence extends beyond Alejandra’s own mind and threatens those she loves, she turns to Melanie Ortiz, a therapist and curandera who helps her confront both her mental health and the buried history of her family. Tracing the lives of the women who came before her—from present-day America to colonial Mexico—Alejandra uncovers a legacy of generational trauma and a haunting tied to the enduring legend of La Llorona. Vivid, compassionate, and deeply unsettling, this horror novel explores motherhood, identity, cultural inheritance, and the possibility of healing through connection to one’s ancestors and self.
