Description"I cry for all of us who bear the burden of these times."Aaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii One day at the river changed everything.
Like a river, she will flow into your dreams, call up your ghosts and have you howling in the night."They called you La Llorona And told terrible tales But I know who you were I know the truth You are the woman As big as all the stars You are the woman As big as all the land and sea The river mirrors.
In a style akin to poetic prose with a potent cathartic undercurrent that lies shimmering just beneath the surface, Ma Llorona\'s reach doesn\'t end at the page.
Powerful themes of love, pre-colonial queer identity, sacred feminine, loss and endurance course through the pages as the Story gathers and flows and gathers again to support healing, negotiate deep ancestral trauma and ultimately, transformation.
In her debut YA novella, award-winning children\'s book artist and author Maya Gonzalez takes readers on an emotional and layered journey that weaves hiStory with love, spirit with flesh, and merges ancient myths with current political times.
A queer reclamation of the classic Mexican Ghost story, La Llorona, that spans the ages and the Americas (Meso America 1500 to present day San Francisco) to reunite the people with their ghosts and mend what was torn apart.
Sometimes a healing is so powerful it holds within it the spark to change everything....if we\'re ready.
Sometimes a heartache is so great, it belongs to everyone.
Will La Llorona\'s heart be strong enough to fulfill it? More importantly, when the time comes....will the people be ready?In times filled with terror and torment, one woman\'s haunting grief rises from beyond to become the people\'s howl in the dark.
But the Ghost woman and her one true Love conjure a plan.
So begins the terror from the pale ones who remake the lands and the people to suit their pale vision.
