Mother Had a Secret - Softcover

Tiffany Fletcher is the second oldest of six children born to a mother diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. It was her love of writing and music that helped her cope with the difficulties of her childhood and that offered her peace amidst of chaos. To help sooth her soul, she began playing the flute in the fifth grade and still plays it whenever possible. She also taught herself to play the piano and enjoys singing any chance she gets. She knew that she would be a writer, when at the age of eight, she won her first award in her school's Young Author Fair. Growing up in the LDS Church, at the age of twenty-one she served a church mission in Independence, Missouri, with a special assignment to serve in the Independence LDS Visitors' Center. After her mission, she attended Rick's College in Rexburg, Idaho, where she graduated with her associates degree in general studies. She went on to attend Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, where she met and married the love of her life while pursuing her BA in English. She graduated with her degree in 2004, the same year her mother died. Mother Had a Secret is the true story of her relationship with her mentally ill mother and is the first of many books to come. She is also an accomplished poet and an aspiring children's author. In her spare time, she home-schools her children, which is both bitter and sweet, depending on the day. She currently resides in Utah with her husband, Sean, whom she absolutely adores, and her five small children whose love and laughter she can never get enough of.
