Heartbreak in Uruguay Alaina Hardy

Recently divorced and questioning all aspects of her life in San Diego, a young woman travels to Uruguay to visit her mother. While there, her mother becomes gravely ill, and she soon learns that because of the COVID-19 pandemic the government will only allow her to continue to visit her dying mother if she becomes a resident herself. Frustrated and stressed, she leans on a small group of people she meets, each one providing a different form of solace. Relying too heavily on alcohol and men, while also at the point of a borderline breakdown, she realizes there are some tough choices ahead that will forever transform her life. Heartbreak in Uruguay is the story of one woman's personal test of courage, resilience and independence while traveling solo across the world during a time of uncertainty. While boundaries are tested and emotions are high, there are lessons on love, friendship, loss, and a desperate need for change.
