DWARF
Tiffanie DiDonato Rennie Dyball
The memoirs of a woman who undergoes limb extension surgery, only to be looked down upon by dwarf communities.
As a child, Tiffanie Didonato didn't know that she was different. All she knew was that she had to use a pair of salad tongs to grab the Disney videos hidden away in the media cabinet, and climb up on the kitchen counters to reach her favorite cookies. Raised as an army brat, with a dad who would do anything to protect her, and a mom determined that she never see her dwarfism as an impairment, Tiffanie was determined to lead a normal life even if she had to go to extreme measures to do so.
In 2008, Tiffanie broke medical records by participating in a groundbreaking limb extension surgery, gaining an unprecedented fourteen inches, and the world took notice. Suddenly the community of Little People was up in arms, with an outrage that mirrored the Deaf community's reaction to Cochlear Implant Surgery. Media outlets from Good Morning America to Inside Edition came calling to find out what would make a person willing to take such a drastic step. What they found was a young woman with a brilliant smile and remarkable strength. And a few years later, when Tiffanie wed a handsome Marine, they came calling again to cover the story of her fairytale romance.
In her memoir, DWARF, Tiffanie will tell her full story for the first time. And it's a hell of a story.
