<div> <B>?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 <i>Dwarf </i></B><BR> <br> A memoir of grit and transformation for anyone who has been told something was impossible and then went on to do it anyway.<BR> <br> 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 bone-lengthening surgeries that gave her an unprecedented 14 inches of height?and the independence she never thought she’d have.<BR> <br> 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.<BR> <br> <i>Dwarf </i>is a moving and, at times, funny testament to the power of sheer determination, and has been compared to Andrew solomon's <I>Far From the Tree</I>.</div>
