Loving Tiara: Memoir
Loving Tiara is a compelling memoir that will encompass your every thought, break your heart, fill you with hope, and leave you with a sense of awe.
"I have found the quiet. At forty-five years old, my life's mission was complete. If I died tomorrow, I would be proud of the life I lived." - Loving Tiara
When Tiffani married the love of her life, Lou, after graduating from college, she assumed she would continue to live the affluent life she had always known, having grown up in Newport Beach, California. She never imagined she would soon be stalked by creditors, driving a car on the repossession list and forced to worry about providing basic necessities for her family, such as buying diapers and groceries. This increasingly desperate situation forced her to decide to return home to her parents with her baby and husband.
After getting their life back on track, and with Tiffani in her final year of law school, they decided to have another baby. At eight months old, however, they discovered that their new daughter Tiara had Tuberous Sclerosis, a rare genetic disorder resulting in intractable epilepsy, developmental delay, chronic hospital admissions, and uncontrollable violent behaviors. So how did Tiffani cope with her new reality? She chose to fight. She challenged the doctors, battled the insurance companies, and refused to give up caring for Tiara even when her own life was at risk
The author's story of unconditional love, unimaginable challenges, and, ultimately, triumph, is a compelling one, which will take hold of your heart and not let go. This memoir will inspire you to tackle fear, encourage you never to give up, and remind you always to trust your gut instincts.

"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
"In an era of instant gratification, excess materialism, and superficial happiness, the author poignantly reveals the deeper gifts that pain and struggle offer all of us. Through a series of losses, including the heart-wrenching death of a child, Goff reminds us of the power of resilience, love, and intuition to support life's biggest challenges. This is an inspiring, authentic, and touching read for anyone seeking more meaning from adversity, and a deeper personal connection to love and life." Melissa Joy Jonsson, best-selling author of The Art of Limitless Living and four other life-transformational books.
"Loving Tiara is the raw and honest story of the strength of a mother's love that looms bright in spite of crushing realities. Tiffani Goff takes you on a journey through two decades filled with heartbreak, triumph, destiny, and relinquishment. Hers is every parent's nightmare, and her story offers a rare glimpse into how imperfect people can endure overwhelming odds with humor, honesty, and candor." Noelle Cablay, author of Pieces of Sky
"It takes courage to step out of the highlight reel of life, take off the filters, and write about life as it truly is. With Loving Tiara, Tiffani has done just that. She has bared it all for the reader-raw honesty, brutal reality, and an endless love and fighting spirit for her daughter. A daughter whose health challenges were more than most of us can ever imagine. The true beauty of this book is in its honesty about all of the beautiful messiness that was loving Tiara." Kate Lyon Osher, Business Owner, Writer, Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Advocate
Loving Tiara is recommended not only for any parent whose child or children suffer from significant handicaps or disorders, but for any reader who is interested in a heartfelt tale of struggle against long odds and coping with both the fear of losing hope, but ultimately finding it. It is a contemporary tale of love, frustration, compassion, fear, and myriad other emotions facing a mother who desperately loves a child afflicted with an unforgiving condition that can only be combatted through unwavering persistence, effort, and, ultimately, unconditional love." Dr. Tom Hunter, author
"TT is a boisterous, strong-willed, funny, caring girl who, as I read, stole my heart and inspired me with her strength and resilience. Most inspiring is her love for her momma and her momma's love for her, a relationship tied and bound by a heart-wrenching, awe-inspiring journey they travel together." Liz Mckibbin, Newport Beach Public Library Circulation Manager
I laughed and cried throughout, moved by the author's overwhelming honesty-especially in a community prone to keeping things pretty superficial. An authenticity and courage only faith can bring and secret miracles that sustain integrity and pure intention to love at all costs. Darcy Jones, Newport Beach Resident
