Portland, Oregon Feb 24, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Author Alexis R. Miller announces the release of her deeply moving memoir, The Miller’s Angel Baby: A Memoir of My Alcoholic Father’s Secret Life, a redemptive family story that explores addiction, betrayal, resilience, and the transformative power of truth. Written for readers of The Glass Castle, Going Under, and Beautiful Things, the memoir offers an unflinchingly honest look at grief and healing, and the courage required to rise from life’s darkest moments.
About the Book
Set against the backdrop of an outwardly successful life in the Philadelphia suburbs, The Miller’s Angel Baby follows Alexis, a military wife, working mother, and high achiever who’s carefully ordered world unravels when long-buried family secrets surface. What begins as the discovery of her father’s hidden alcoholism and hoarding spirals into revelations of infidelity, secret siblings, and a fractured family history.
As loss, betrayal, and burnout collide, Alexis reaches a personal breaking point, a dark night of the soul that forces her to choose between remaining a victim of circumstance or becoming the victor of her own life. Through moments of devastation and unexpected grace, she experiences profound personal transformation, marked by synchronicities, forgiveness, and renewal.
Both intimate and empowering, the memoir traces Alexis’s journey from disillusionment to clarity, illustrating how grief can become fertile ground for growth, faith, and purpose. The Miller’s Angel Baby is ultimately a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of love, forgiveness, and hope.
