What if the heroine of a play decided she’d had enough of her writers—and rewrote the story herself?

Miranda is tired of her dead-end life as a struggling short-order cook. Dreaming of becoming a district attorney, she turns to a psychologist for help—but there’s one problem: Miranda is only a character in someone else’s play.

Determined to take control of her future, Miranda fires her writers and demands a better story. But they have plans of their own. What follows is a wildly inventive battle between creator and creation, sending Miranda through bizarre rewrites, shifting realities, and hilarious theatrical chaos.

When fantasy and reality collide, Miranda finally gets the life she wants—only to discover that actions taken while “acting” can have very real consequences.

Blending absurd comedy, metafiction, social satire, and delightfully bad puns, Finding Miranda explores identity, free will, and who really controls our stories. Perfect for readers and theater lovers who enjoy meta-theatrical comedy, reality-bending fiction, smart satire, experimental theater, strong female protagonists, and plays that delight in breaking every theatrical rule.

Sometimes escaping your story creates an even stranger one.
