So when she decides to throw her own living wake bringing together her family to celebrate her long life, her sisters are concerned. What has she foreseen? The news brings a web of complications for the Marte family, who are forced to confront truths they've long tried to conceal. Because Flor isn't the only person with secrets. 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?
