FAMILY LORE - ELIZABETH ACEVEDO KARTONIERT (TB)

Flor has a gift: she can predict  to the day  when someone will die. When she decides she wants
a living wake - a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life
she's led - her sisters are surprised. Has Flor forseen her own death? Or someone else's? Does
she have other motives? But Flor isn't the only person with secrets. Matilde has tried for
decades to cover the extent of her husband's infidelity  but she now must confront the true
state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister  but Flor's wake motivates
this driven woman to attempt to solve her sibling's problems. Camila is the youngest sibling 
often the forgotten one  but she's decided she no longer wants to be taken for granted.And the
next generation  cousins Ona and Yadi  face tumult of their own: Yadi  reuniting with her first
love  who was imprisoned when they were both still kids  and Ona  married for years and
attempting to conceive. Spanning the three days prior to the wake  Family Lore traces the lives
of each of the Marte women  weaving together past and present  Santo Domingo and New York City.
Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's inimitable and incandescent voice  this is an indelible portrait
of sisters and cousins  aunts and nieces - one family's journey through their history helping
them better navigate all that is to come.
