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.

Sara Alvarado is an author, speaker, teacher, and co-conspirator. She works in real estate and racial justice.
