Tre Miller Rodriguez

As a young publicist, Tré Miller Rodríguez fell in love with a 30-something Cuban ad exec and married him on the eighth date. Their love story—and his sudden death four years later—became the inspiration for "Splitting the Difference: A Heart-Shaped Memoir" and her popular blog, WhiteElephantInTheRoom.com. An award-winning copywriter and UC Berkeley graduate, Tré’s essays have appeared in The New York Times, Manhattan Magazine and on HuffingtonPost.com. She lives in New York City and overshares on Twitter.
