Flor has a gift : she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides to throw her own living wake, her sisters are concerned. What has she foreseen ? Planning the celebration brings further complications for the Marte family, because Flor isn't the only person with secrets : her sisters are hiding things, too. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own.
Family Lore traces the intertwining stories of five women : sisters and cousins, mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, to ask the ultimate question what does it take to live a good life, for yourself and those you love ?
