βββββ for Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie @mdeblassie.writer ! I loved this book SO much! It's sad, so sad in the beginning. If you have a heart you're going to weep too. But then it gets better. And then it gets GOOD. You are rooting for Mercy to save herself, to not let La Llorona win and turn her into a sad, judgy, miserable, church lady like so many others in the town who just can't let go of their generational pain and have to inflict it on everyone else in a never-ending cycle. That hit home for me. Mercy is determined to break that cycle, and she doesn't care if she has to become an outcast to do it.
