About this title

Synopsis

Once upon a time, girls dreamed a prince would deliver their happily ever after. For readers who loved Belle Burden's Strangers, Deb Miller's inspiring memoir proves that Prince Charming is overrated—and that the most powerful happily ever after is the one you create yourself.

From stay-at-home mom to globetrotting executive and single parent, Deb Miller navigates love's many plot twists while discovering that happiness isn't something another person can provide.

Drawing striking parallels to Disney's evolving princesses—from damsels in distress to fearless warriors—Miller offers a fresh perspective on how women's roles have transformed and how modern women have discovered the power of riding their own white horse.

Part memoir and part cultural commentary, Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness is an uplifting story of reinvention, resilience, and self-reliance that encourages readers to write their own ending.
