From Backup Plans to Uncharted Territory
Following the success of her debut book "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Tamales," Alvarez delivers a raw, honest account of her journey after losing her partner Bill in a sudden accident. As a successful professional and single mother known for having backup plans for her backup plans, she found herself facing the one thing she couldn't control: grief.
Practical Guidance Meets Personal Narrative
"Hot Mess Express" isn't your typical grief memoir. Through intimate storytelling and practical insights, Alvarez guides readers from survival to revival, offering both solidarity and actionable steps toward healing. Each chapter includes thoughtfully crafted exercises that help readers engage with their own journey of transformation.

"This book is for anyone who has ever felt their life derailed by loss or change," says Alvarez. "It's about embracing the chaos of healing and transforming pain into purpose."
Readers are invited to join Alvarez for the official book launch celebration on March 1, 2025. The afternoon event will feature light refreshments, a special reading by the author, and each attendee will receive a signed copy of "Hot Mess Express."
