Description: * "Rich with symbolism, allusions, and haunted psyches, there is a gothic edge to McCall's magical realism. Evoking a strong sense of place, the borderlands of the Rio Grande Valley are a character in their own right, and anyone familiar with Mexican folklore will see the echoes of La Llorona's tale of love and loss. This is a breathtaking story of sisterhood, familia, fighting the demons of generational trauma and femicide, and moving forward with fresh dreams despite the scars." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review * "Expertly weaves together the personal and family history of an 18-year-old with an inherited ability known as echoes. . . . Haunting." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "McCall weaves Mexican American and border town culture and lore into a realistic, raw, poignant portrayal of family tragedy, trauma, grief, and the healing power of facing the truth with a loved one at your side." -- The Horn Book "Riveting." -- Booklist "Many readers will recognize the social rhetoric that holds women and girls responsible for the violations enacted on them by others." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Best Books 2022 - Kirkus Reviews Blue Ribbon List 2023 - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Jean Flynn Award for Best Young Adult Book Winner 2023 - Texas Institute of Letters (TIL) Spirit of Texas Reading List 2022 - Texas Library Association (TLA)
