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)

Super Soft, Cozy Throw
Size: 50"x70", Color: Berry Cheetah Pink
I got this blanket and the first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft it is, it has that smooth, plush feel that makes it really comfortable to use daily. The size is great for lounging on the couch or adding an extra layer on the bed without feeling bulky, and it gives good coverage for a throw blanket. Many versions of this style are around 50 x 70 inches, and medium weight which is ideal for everyday use. It’s also easy to care for, I’ve washed it and it holds up well without losing softness or shape. The quality feels nice for the price and it still looks good after use. Overall, it’s one of those blankets you keep reaching for because it’s soft, practical, and low maintenance.

Super Soft and Adorably Stylish
Size: 50"x70", Color: Cherry Cakes Hot Pink
I recently got the Juicy Couture Kids Cherry Cakes Plush Throw Blanket, and it has quickly become a favorite. The blanket is incredibly soft, lightweight, and cozy, making it perfect for relaxing on the couch, adding extra warmth to a bed, or taking along for travel. The hot pink color and cute Cherry Cakes design are vibrant and fun, especially for kids who love colorful décor. Despite being lightweight, it provides plenty of warmth and comfort without feeling heavy. It also washes well and maintains its softness, which is always a plus. For the quality, comfort, and adorable design, this blanket is Highly Recommended.

Cute, soft, and large blanket!
Size: 50"x70", Color: Cherry Cakes Hot Pink, Size: 50"x70", Color: Cherry Cakes Hot Pink
Very cute and warm throw blanket! The blanket is super soft and has great weight to it. Sometimes these throw blankets with prints look weird on the “back” side but, this one’s print goes all the way through. Or sometimes it doesn’t feel as soft on the back side. But this blanket isn’t like that. This is a high quality blanket! I also love the size of the blanket! It’s much larger than the standard throw so it’s perfect for someone who likes to get cozy on the couch!

Get this blanket!
Size: 50"x70", Color: Berry Cheetah Pink, Size: 50"x70", Color: Berry Cheetah Pink
This juicy blanket is such a nice quality! The softness is absolutely incredible the weight of the blanket isn’t light but isn’t super heavy. The pink is gorgeous my phone camera had a hard time actually getting the pink colors I think my second photo is the most it picked up but the entire blanket is pink I love the bows and the cherry’s and how it of course has the signature juicy on some of the cherrys. The material is super soft. I mean incredibly soft! It’s perfect. I know it says for kids but I’m an adult and I love it I’m 4’10 so it’s long enough to cover my whole body and keep me warm at night I also move to cuddle with it on my face or bring it to the couch to stay warm. I really love love love this juicy blanket and I highly recommend it it’s a great value for the quality you get.
