Non-Fiction Memoir
“It's okay with me if you picked up this book because you're
curious about what it's like to live with dwarfism. But I
hope that you'll take away much more—about adapting to the
world when it won't adapt to you.”—from Dwarf
A memoir of grit and transformation for anyone
who has been told something was impossible and then went on
to do it anyway.
Tiffanie DiDonato was born with
dwarfism. Her limbs were so short that she was not able to
reach her own ears. She was also born with a serious case of
optimism. She decided to undergo a series of painful
surgeries that gave her an unprecedented 14 inches of
height—and the independence she never thought she’d have.
After her surgeries, Tiffanie was able to learn to
drive, to live in the dorms during college, and to lead a
normal life. She even made time to volunteer, writing to
troops stationed abroad, and one of those Marine pen pals
ultimately became her husband.
Dwarf is a
moving and at times funny testament to the power of sheer
determination.
