I’m Deb Miller, a former Fortune 500 executive, marketing professor, and a woman who once believed in fairy tales—until life handed me a sword instead of a slipper. My memoir is all about rewriting the princess narrative and proving that modern-day warrior princesses don’t wait to be saved—they save themselves. I’ve spent my life balancing boardrooms and bedtime stories, raising three extraordinary children while fighting for my own happiness. I have a passion for stories that shatter outdated tropes and celebrate strong women who define their own happily ever afters.
Elizabeth Zott doesn’t need a prince—she needs science, self-respect, and a society that doesn’t stand in her way. I loved the way this novel brilliantly balances humor, feminism, and resilience, proving that a woman’s happiness isn’t found in a fairy tale but in her own determination.
Prince Charming is optional: that’s a book I can relate to.

This book is a powerful reminder that our happiness is up to us—no one else, a key takeaway of my memoir. I could relate to feeling drained trying to ‘fix’ people or meet impossible expectations.

What if Cinderella realized Prince Charming wasn’t the key to 'Happily Ever After'? Instead of waiting to be saved, she grabbed the reins—kids in tow—and set out to create her own destiny. That’s exactly what I did. My journey of self-discovery began with a passion for tennis, taking me from being a Midwest mom and part-time accounting professor to Russia’s Red Square and, ultimately, an exhilarating career in global marketing.
A unique twist in my memoir is how Disney princesses serve as chapter epigraphs, foreshadowing my evolution. Once damsels in distress, they—like me—transformed into warriors, explorers, and dreamers. This is a story of breaking free from outdated narratives and redefining what 'Happily Ever After' really means.
