Overview

At age twenty-four, Sara Alvarado bought a one-way ticket from the Midwest to Mexico, determined to heal from years of hard partying and sexual trauma. In this raw and inspiring memoir, Sara takes readers on a journey as she struggles with being newly sober, unexpectedly in love–and then suddenly, terrifyingly pregnant. Guided from afar by her wise and loving mother and her emerging spiritual connection, Sara confidently (yet full of self-doubt) faces the complexity of a multicultural marriage and motherhood in a foreign country. In vivid, storytelling prose, Sara shares the messy dance between cultures, classes, languages, traditions, white privilege, and a desire to belong. This epic love story confronts tough topics and uncertainty in an honest voice that is refreshing and witty.

REVIEWS

Soul-filling! This enchanting story of hope, humanness, adventure, and love brings us face-to-face with our own understanding of what it means to surrender and begin to trust again. Sara Alvarado shares a story from Madison to L.A. to Mexico that allowed my soul to feel the weaving of courage, heartbreak, hope, strength, softness, and surrender on the same day. This memoir grabbed my heart.

Allison Crow, author of Unarmored: Finding Home in the Wild Edges of Being Human

Often, moms squeeze into tight, neat, socially acceptable boxes out of fear of being seen as “unfit” or “unsafe.” We sanitize our stories and deny our humanity, hoping to be seen as “good” mothers. Through Dreaming in Spanish, Sara Alvarado gives us complexity and fullness and an invitation to be whole.

Sagashus Levingston, PhD, author of Infamous Mothers and Covet: the “Disrespectful” Health and Wellness Journal

Sara Alvarado’s memoir, Dreaming in Spanish, details her story from a Midwestern white girl who studies Spanish and tries to escape her demons with alcohol, men, and mischief by heading south of the border. Her brutal honesty, unforeseen tragedies, and ultimate redemption from her past serve as a reminder of how hard life really is, even with the privilege that skin color and economic status provide. Sara’s memoir is important to showcase that there are times in our lives, sometimes in the depths of our journey, when we can learn the most about ourselves.

Oscar Mireles, poet laureate of Madison, Wisconsin (2016−2020)

Finally, an Indestructible Toy My Dog Loves!
Color: Red
I have a dog who usually destroys all toys, even the hardest toys I have ever bought. However, this bone toy has proven to be indestructible! Not only does my dog ​​love it, but he keeps it playing for an hour and a half at a time. I highly recommend this toy and plan on purchasing a second or third.

Wonderful!
Color: Red, Color: Red
My dog loves this toy! It keeps her engaged for long periods of time. She’s an aggressive chewer and hasn’t been able to break it or shred it at all. The material is very hard and I feel safe when she is chewing it unattended. Worth every penny to have peace of mind!

Might be OK for others but my dog wants nothing to do with it
Color: Red
Might be OK for others but my dog want's nothing to do with it. I tried multiple things, treat, fetch, nothing. She doesn't even want to smell it. It appears to be heavy plastic with rubber wrapped around the middle. Nothing about it that attracts a dog.
