Through a blend of poetic language and magic realism, the memoir offers an intimate glimpse into the author's family dynamics, where deceased relatives engage in lively conversations during a Day of the Dead visit to the cemetery. The narrative unfolds over a year, exploring the rich personalities and events that shape Mora's understanding of her heritage. It also delves into the broader context of Mexican American history, recounting her family's harrowing journey from Mexico to escape violence and their efforts to establish new lives in a foreign land.
