Rebooting in Beverly Hills

September 1, 2012

Lawyer Miller begins her memoir in 2005 at the point where she finds evidence of cheating by her third husband, forcing her in her 50s back into the world of dating. About seven years earlier, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy, reconstruction, a grueling regimen of chemotherapy (details provided), and radiation. Sadly, there is little more here about her cancer, except a brief apprehension of approaching a new bed partner with her altered body. Not enough introspection among the name-dropping (we're talking restaurants, hotels, celebrities, wines, vacation spots) to be of value to cancer patients. Miller has recently been featured on Fox News and in the Huffington Post.
