Unveiling Heartbreak and Healing: Brenda Miller Reveals the Secrets Behind Her Powerful New Memoir.
RP: Wow, that’s so nice! You said you’ve been out there more with this book, so do you think that’s a function of being retired and having the time to do more promotion, or does it have to do with the nature of the book you’ve written?
BM: I think it’s both. This is probably the most intimate book I’ve written. Now that it’s out, I don’t think I realized that while I was putting it together. But now I realize, wow, in a long career of writing very personal things, this still seems like the most intimate and authentic book. I think the themes of facing end-of-life challenges, and my work as a hospice volunteer, our world needs these stories now, we need to bring them more out into the open and be really real with one another. The book itself is really demanding that. I’ve taken inspiration from colleagues who have done book tours who told me, you really need to get out there! It’s exhausting already, but I’m enjoying it, too.
