Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness - Paperback

by Deb Miller (Author)

Fans of women's memoirs about second acts, self-reinvention, and finding strength after divorce will connect deeply with Deb Miller's honest, witty account of what happens when the fairy tale falls apart--and real life begins.

Deb was raised to believe in Prince Charming, permanence, and the promise that love guaranteed a happy ending. Faced with the collapse of the story she'd built her identity around, she had to decide: rewrite the narrative or remain stuck inside it.

In this heartfelt and sharply observant debut memoir, Deb traces her journey from small-town stay-at-home mom to global marketing executive--navigating heartbreak, single motherhood, an unexpected second marriage that brought both passion and chaos, and the hard-won clarity that followed.

This is not a guidebook; it's a lived story of reinvention--and a reminder that a woman's most powerful chapter often begins the moment she stops chasing the fairy tale and starts defining happiness for herself.
