Why read it?
1 author picked Weep Weep, Woman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This reimagining of the La Llorona legend hooked me with its perfect, gorgeous first line and would not let me go.
I loved author Maria DeBlassie’s unique voice and her loving depiction of the Southwest US. But most of all, I love the way Weep, Woman, Weep digs in to intergenerational trauma, and the way women inherit it from their mothers and, if they aren’t careful, pass it on to their daughters in return.
This is a story first and foremost of resilience, though. I wept all the way through, and it was so worth it.
From Lissa's list on trauma-informed fairy tales that offer resilience, hope, and healing.
