“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.

Guess who’s turning 14 today?

Oct. 25, 2012

  My middle angel, Tiara, is turning 14 today.  Well, in reality her actual birthday is Saturday, October 27, but we are celebrating tonight because Tiara can only handle one day of celebration.  When Tiara was a little girl we used to do what most families do for their children’s birthdays.  If the special day…

Oh yeah, I did it!

  You are probably going to think I am insane, but I actually like putting together furniture from IKEA.  Super crazy, right?  I find it a huge challenge and if I can get the whole piece together without having to backtrack, unscrew and rescrew and manage not to lose or break any of the pieces,…

  I have gone from blonde, to red to auburn all in the course of 5 weeks.  Today when I showed up at the color boutique, I was planning on changing my color to plain Jane brown, but I told Tina, she was in charge.  Since she was the expert, I was going with whatever…

Are you good at “sizing” people up?

Oct. 16, 2012

  I am not sure about you, but I kinda have this sixth sense about people’s personality from the moment I meet them.  This isn’t me “judging a book by its cover, but something a little deeper.  I will go out on a limb and say 98% of the time my initial assessment of someone…

My dog has gone insane, can I give him away?

Oct. 11, 2012

  A few weeks ago I took our dog, Bailey, to the vet because I knew he had an ear infection.  Apparently looking into his filthy ears was like looking into a bowl of pudding so the doctor recommended putting him under and cleaning them out along with all the hair.  This way he could…

I was having a pity party and then something great happened…

Oct. 10, 2012

  I seriously hate the feeling of jealousy.  Once in a while, it will find it’s way into my life and suddenly I feel like crap about everything and I just want to give up.  In the past 10 years I have noticed that all my fits of jealously revolve around design.  Silly but true. …

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
