Tiffanie DiDonato

Tiffanie’s first book, Dwarf: How One Woman Fought for a Body—And a Life—She Was Never Supposed to Have (Plume, 2012), was hailed as “uplifting and profound” (Kirkus), and “a fascinating take on disability that you won’t want to miss.” by The Christian Science Monitor. She’s written for The New York Times blog, Well Family, MilSpouse Magazine, ScareyMommy.com, and contributing a weekly parenting column for The Jacksonville Daily News syndicated across Eastern North Carolina. A motivational speaker, Tiffanie speaks at elementary, middle, and high schools around the country to talk about inclusion, anti-bullying, peer pressure, suicide prevention, and above all, persevering through difficulty. She, her Marine husband and two sons live in Swansboro, North Carolina.
