The Grief Keeper by Alexandra Villasante
A young Central American woman and her sister flee violence and struggle to survive as undocumented immigrants in the United States. To earn money and a chance to stay, she becomes a paid participant in a controversial program that allows migrants to offload traumatic memories while someone else absorbs them, forcing her to carry strangers’ pain. As the transferred grief erodes her sense of self, she must confront loyalty to her sister, burgeoning relationships, and the moral and political costs of a system that commodifies trauma.
