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 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. Like a river, she will flow into your dreams, call up your ghosts and have you howling in the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"They called you La Llorona\u003cbr\u003e And told terrible tales\u003cbr\u003e But I know who you were\u003cbr\u003e I know the truth\u003cbr\u003e You are the woman\u003cbr\u003e As big as all the stars\u003cbr\u003e You are the woman\u003cbr\u003e As big as all the land and sea\u003cbr\u003e The river mirrors your face\u003cbr\u003e The wind carries your wail\u003cbr\u003e The grass and cool soil your beautiful body\u003cbr\u003e When I am here\u003cbr\u003e I am with you in total\u003cbr\u003e You are never alone...\u003cbr\u003e I know because\u003cbr\u003e I am the woman\u003cbr\u003e Who loves you forever\u003cbr\u003e I will count every star and say I love you\u003cbr\u003e A thousand times\u003cbr\u003e Like our last night together, my love\u003cbr\u003e I will tell the truth of your tale\u003cbr\u003e A thousand times\u003cbr\u003e So you remember who you once were\u003cbr\u003e Your name is my name now\u003cbr\u003e I am La Llorona\u003cbr\u003e I cry for you\u003cbr\u003e I cry for me\u003cbr\u003e I cry for all of us\u003cbr\u003e Who bear the burden of these times.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 26, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47691591844061,"sku":"9781945289033","price":22.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/oBjFhYGxlI9781945289033_c90e989b-ea7d-4df2-8f2f-dc1defe62f0e.webp?v=1774126693","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/ma-llorona-a-ghost-story-a-love-story-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
