“Loving Tiara is the kind of memoir that both breaks your heart and fills it up with hope and inspiration. Tiffani Goff is a fierce and faithful mother who is determined to give her daughter a good life. Her story shows us how a family can overcome extraordinary obstacles, and how a mom can be a superhero.” Candi Sary, author of Black Crow White Lie

“Beautiful, raw, authentic, tragic, and an incredibly precious read…”

“This memoir, when once finished, there is no looking back. After having the privilege of being part of this family’s day-to-day life, I wanted my experience to be never-ending. This story rapidly became essential food for my soul, allowing me to savor every “bite” with each page. Tiara’s life is the thread of the memoir, however never do the others become blurred. This is truth, without excuses, explanations, or regrets. What a distinguished way to experience life on life’s terms. Thank you, Tiffani! I have never been able to have children, however, those three beautiful girls were mine as long as the story went on. Give yourself the gift of this read, it will be with you for a very long time.” Verified Amazon Customer, 12/10/2020

” Five stars isn’t enough!”

” Wow, definitely gives perspective to those caring for special needs children. Tiffani is the definition of sacrifice, dedication, and unconditional love while taking care of her daughter, Tiara. Thank you tiffani for sharing Tiara with us.” Verified Amazon Customer 12/30/2020

Prologue from Loving Tiara:

I can never find the quiet. I know that someday this will end and I will have plenty of quiet time, but right now I can’t imagine that being my reality. Someone always needs me.

Most days I just hope to survive until she falls asleep. I constantly ask God, the universe, whoever can hear my thoughts, to give me the strength to carry on. It’s the mantra that plays in my head all day long until she falls asleep at night, and then I say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” with a huge sigh of relief. I survived another day.

I always wonder how I find the strength to keep going. Everyone in my family and inner circle are shocked that I keep doing what I’m doing. Some have begged me to stop, find another way, or have her placed outside the home, for they fear she will eventually kill me. I refuse to listen to them or entertain their suggestions, because I know in my heart, being her caretaker won’t last forever. I’m meant to be her caretaker for her entire life, and no one can stop me from doing otherwise.

I often wonder how I can love, more than life itself, the person who abuses me daily. Why do I crave her kisses, her bear hugs, and her contagious smiles, when I know she will suddenly lash out at me without any warning?

I would rather die taking care of her than give up on her. I am her mother, her voice, her strength her advocate, and her biggest fan. I am also a wife and a mother to my two other beautiful girls. They all need me to be strong, so they can pretend our lives are “normal.” Even when I feel like dying inside, I carry on, because that is who I am. This is the story of loving Tiara.

Out of respect for all the parties involved I am not at liberty to disclose…

Eating sugar again!

Jun. 19, 2013

  Ok, I have to admit the stress has gotten to me.  I have driven through  Chick-fil-A the past two days solely for chocolate chip cookies.  No chicken on my menu! I think I made it almost 4 weeks without any sweets or gluten but I have been dying for cookies.  I got so desperate…

Does your bed have a frame?

Jun. 18, 2013

I am sure almost 100% of my readers sleep on a bed which has a frame, but Lou, Tiara and I don’t.  The reason why? About 4 years ago Tiara was having tons of tonic clonic and drop seizures.  She woke up many mornings on the floor and after her teeth kept chipping off we…

Jun. 13, 2013

Last night I started on my piles of laundry that I had been ignoring during my home improvement mania, when I discovered the clothes weren’t drying all the way.  Actually not at all.. Hmmmm.  I was to tired to deal with it last night so I decided to ignore the problem until the morning.  This…

My home improvement plans for the weekend

Jun. 07, 2013

Today I finally decided to tear out the bush/tree that I stare at everyday and HATE with a passion.  I knew it would be hard to get out and have been putting it off but after my walk today, Tiara was still sleeping so I went to work.  I first tried to dig it out…

Recent Interview

Who is tiffani?

Mom, Wife, author of Loving Tiara, retired home stager, and chronic volunteer. I laugh when I'm happy, nervous, or stressed, so basically, I'm always laughing, and you can hear me from down the block if the windows are open. I love to swear even though it isn't ladylike, and I'm brutally honest, but in a super nice way, or so I think? I tend to roll my eyes, and apparently, my face is very expressive because even when I don't open my mouth, everyone knows what I'm thinking. My hubby and I are homebodies; I'm obsessed with always doing the "right thing " and taking care of my skin. I love learning, am always trying to evolve as a human being, and am a bit of a perfectionist. Let's have some fun! xoxo tiffani
