What We Say: An inspiring novel that celebrates the enduring power of family. It explores familial bonds, relationships, and personal growth against a backdrop of cultural nuances.

What They Say: “Flor is throwing herself a wake and reminding us that ‘even a long life is too short”. So while we are here ‘let’s eat, and dance, and be alive’. Acevedo has written unforgettable characters who breathe new life into how we grieve, age, take care of each other. Family Lore is a big-hearted novel, a wonderful debut!” – Angie Cruz
