Now they’re both gone and my home, that used to be filled with laughter, is too quiet, too still. When a little boy I don’t recognize knocks at my door, without a parent in sight, I’m shocked.

Publisher's Summary
WARNING... Once you start listening to Loving Tiara you won't be able to stop, so put in your ear buds and dig into this extraordinary memoir that you won't soon forget.
Tiffani, the author, becomes an intimate friend as you speaks to you about her deepest thoughts, fears, and worries. Her love, strength, honesty, and determination to care for her family at all costs is inspiring.
Tiffani and Lou were living everyone's dream until suddenly they weren't. Their immediate love and attraction for one another were all-consuming, and they married two months after Tiffani graduated from college. They both grew up in affluent families, but suddenly they found themselves without enough money to survive, and Tiffani was already pregnant. Their lack of adequate finances was only the beginning of their problems.
Their second daughter was born with a rare genetic disease, and they found themselves pregnant with a third daughter despite Lou having a vasectomy. When you think they can't endure any more tragedy, they do and find a way to handle it with grace, humor, and love. Tiffani and Lou will inspire you with their love for one other, their children, and how far they are willing to go to give Tiara the best life possible.
