Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness

By: Deb Miller

Narrated by: Teri Wellbrock

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.
