Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness

In this uplifting debut memoir perfect for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Deb Miller discards the myth of Prince Charming once she realizes he can't get her to happily ever after and instead gets on the white horse herself, safely straps her kids on behind her, and figures out how to get there on her own. Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness is part personal growth guide, part motivational memoir, and all heart. When Deb's college sweetheart can't deliver the fairy tale she expected, she takes charge and writes a new one. Her passion for tennis opens unexpected doors--from motherhood and midwestern housewife life to global marketing exec. Along the way to pursuing a better life for her children and chasing her own version of fulfillment, she experiences the turbulence of divorce and the thrill of reinvention. Through it all, Deb draws rich parallels with the evolving Disney princesses--from Snow White to Moana--who, like her, break free of outdated roles and embrace self-discovery, resilience, and independence. This empowering story challenges societal expectations for women and encourages readers to rewrite their happily ever after and be their own hero. Whether you're navigating single parenting, pursuing your own transformation, or simply craving an inspiring story of self-help and second chances, Forget the Fairy Tale is your permission slip to take control of your narrative--and find joy on your own terms.
