Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness

In this uplifting debut memoir--perfect for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and readers of Brené Brown or Mel Robbins--Deb Miller discards the myth of Prince Charming once she realizes he can't get her to happily ever after. So, she gets on the white horse herself, safely straps her kids on behind her, and figures out how to get there on her own.

Are you ready to stop waiting for prince charming--and start writing your own happily ever after?

You grew up believing the story: Find your soulmate, settle down, live happily ever after. But what happens when the fairy tale falls apart?

In Forget the Fairy Tale and Find Your Happiness, Dr. Deb Miller proves that real life can be even better than the myth--if you're willing to become the hero of your own story.

With wit, wisdom, and a dash of Disney magic, Deb shares her journey from small-town housewife to global executive, from heartbreak to reinvention, from waiting for rescue to strapping her kids on the white horse and riding toward her own joy.

Along the way, she shows you how to:
- Break free from outdated roles and rewrite the story you were told
- Transform setbacks--divorce, doubt, disappointment--into stepping-stones
- Discover resilience, confidence, and self-worth in unexpected places
- Create a life that inspires the next generation of strong women

Blending memoir and motivation, Deb parallels her transformation with the evolving Disney princesses--from obedient Snow White to fearless Moana--reminding us that the real happily ever after isn't about finding a prince. It's about finding yourself.
