Family Lore


Listen Later

Get ready to grab your drink and light a scented candle, because this week, we're stepping into the complicated and magical world of Elizabeth Acevedo's Family Lore! We're talking about a family of women with gifts that range from the practical to the... divinely feminine, we'll say.

Your hosts are diving headfirst into the Marte family drama, where a planned "living wake" brings about more questions and reflection than anyone was prepared for. We'll chat about the ways that this made us do our own reflecting, and celebrate the glorious, complicated, and unbreakable bonds between the mothers, daughters, and womanhood.

So, find a cozy spot, and join the conversation! Spoiler Alert: This episode is bursting with them, so read this amazing novel first. Then come celebrate the joy, the tears, and the sheer magic of family with us!
