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)

Neck posture/sleep pain improvement
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: King
Pleasantly surprised. Only had for a week now, but bought to replace these old bamboo pillows that were so flattened it was causing shoulder pain or neck tightness maybe. But that has already improved my sleep just from using this week. Ordered the kings, they come vacuum sealed and so I opened and they sat for approx 24 hours or close enough. They didn't appear as puffy so I was a little doubtful but I punched and fluffed them myself and they were good. They have improved the quality of my sleep so far. They are soft and sounds weird but it's almost like your head weight or fluffing them activate it to be fully expanded afterwards. I like them, they're comfortable for me as a mainly side sleeper/sometimes back sleeper.

Didn’t hold its shape after 1 month.
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Queen
been using this pillow for about a month now, and here’s my honest take. At first, it was super comfortable — soft, supportive, and perfect for getting a good night’s sleep. It gave great neck support and felt like a solid upgrade. But after a few weeks, I did notice it started to lose its shape a bit. It’s still comfortable, just not as supportive as when I first got it. I find myself fluffing it more often now.

Pillow for everyone
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
I think this pillow is too firm. I prefer a softer pillow but wanted to try this one. I may just have to get use to it. I will keep using it and see if I cannot get use to it.
