Deborah Trenchard
This is a story of anguish and fear, enduring hope, determination and admiration, inspired by a girl who often stopped short of slipping over the edge. One who blossomed and developed many passions - for music, opera, stimulating friendships and for cake! Tiffany’s parents commemorated her love for life by donating her body to science. Parents in a similar situation will be encouraged by the way Deborah continued to challenge medical authority. Too many doctors do not realize that a mother needs to know the facts, and often feel she wouldn’t understand anyway. RAISING TIFFANY portrays the gifts of a very special girl. It is a message of love, joy and admiration. Beyond a memoir, it celebrates life. It sings!'RAISING TIFFANY is a powerful, heart-warming account from a mother who has been through the biggest test of all - the death of her daughter. It’s an account which will restore your faith in human nature and help everyone to work their way through life, whatever the challenges. Raising Tiffany will also inspire parents with special needs children.'-Sophie King, author of Mums@Home, and The School Run'As a mother of a chronically ill child I found this book extremely encouraging. Deborah’s courage to question doctors will inspire others to do likewise. RAISING TIFFANY is a well-written and hauntingly moving account of a young life.'-Michelle McCarthy, Charity Fund Raiser, UK
