4.0

Meet Teresina "Tere" Avila a 30 something year old single woman who has an obsession with the legendary Mexican icon Pedro Infante. She studies his life, the women he loved, the women who loved him, and above all else his music and films. However, with all her studying she has found herself not only idolizing a womanizer but also dating one.

To say there is a true beginning and end to this story would be nonfactual. Instead, Chavez delights her readers through the journey of a middle aged woman who is still seeking the "one" and struggling with whether or not this is what she actually wants/needs.

On a basic level, this story is about relationships in every form, family, friends, one night stands, boyfriends, girlfriends, dangerous liaisons, and marriage.

Chavez writes with a breath of wisdom that can only be gained through a life well led. And of course, with a love for Pedro Infante.
