Mimi Miller tells about her life with intimacy and honesty. As Mimi eavesdrops on her parents and quietly observes the people around her, she discovers more and more about the toxicity of family secrets, the dangers of gossip, the flaws of marriage, the inequalities of friendship, and the risks of passion, loyalty, and love. Home, as Mimi begins to realize, can be ""a place where it's just as easy to feel lost as it is to feel content."" Miller's Valley is a study of family, memory, loss, and, ultimately, discovery, of finding true identity and a new vision of home.
