Someone’s Gotta Give

A novel about motherhood, meaning well and doing good. Learn more.

In Bookstores Everywhere August 5th

The author of My What If Year is back with a fun, witty debut novel that takes you inside the world of extreme wealth and charitable giving.

Lucia thought she had it all figured out--until life in London as a new mom and expat turns everything upside down. She's just barely keeping it together, when she unexpectedly lands a glamorous job as a philanthropic advisor to the poshest families in England. But is the world of the uber wealthy everything it's cracked up to be?

At work, she's rubbing elbows with royals and taking champagne-fueled meetings with heirs to the next generation of wealth; while at home, her teething one-year-old is up at all hours of the night, and her husband's growing connection to his ex-girlfriend is making her question their marriage.

Something's gotta give in this relatable and heartwarming dramedy about a woman caught between her career ambitions, her family's needs, and the person she's becoming. Can Lucia rediscover herself before it all falls apart? And can she still do some good in the world while she's at it?

“Someone's Gotta Give is an absolute delight--a sharp, funny, and heartfelt exploration of identity, purpose, and the many hats we wear (sometimes all at once). With wit and warmth, Miranda reminds us that finding balance is a journey worth taking. This book will make you laugh, think, and cheer. A must-read for anyone searching for their place in the world."

Gloria Calderon Kellett, award-winning television writer and producer of With Love and One Day at a Time

"Amidst the fabulous cast of characters in Someone's Gotta Give, down-to-earth Lucia takes center stage as she navigates expat and mom-life in between the odd event at Buckingham Palace. Full of heart and humor, Miranda shines a vivid and entertaining light on the world of charitable giving, the super-rich, and what they do with their money when they're feeling generous."

My What If Year

A memoir about four internships, three countries, two kids and one life-changing misadventure

In Bookstores Everywhere Now

An exuberant, hilarious memoir about a woman in midlife who pauses her career for a year to explore the What If jobs of her dreams.

Delightfully irreverent, My What If Year recounts the adventures of a successful, Latinx CEO and mother of twins who takes a break from her job to dip a toe in the careers that she idealized as a young woman.

She signs on as an intern at a Broadway theater, a London art gallery, a Scottish luxury hotel, and a virtual fitness studio (living room Zumba!)—only to discover a long-buried question: Why didn’t she do what she most wanted to do until now?

“This book is like a balm for the soul of every over-achiever who has ever wondered what is on the other side of ‘having it all.’ With irreverence, unflinching honesty and irresistible warmth, Miranda gives us permission to get curious, hold tight to the wisp of a new idea, and honor the voice that whispers, ‘what if there is more?’”

Alicia Menendez, host of American Voices on MSNBC and author of The Likeability Trap

“Alisha’s case of missing identity, even as a successful CEO, is an ultimate triumph story in reclaiming oneself. In this funny, heart-warming “What If” journey, Alisha teaches us that sometimes uprooting our lives backwards is what leads us and our families forward.”

Eve Rodsky, best-selling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
