Insane Roots - A Memoir: The Adventures of a Con-Artist and Her Daughter

by Tiffany Rochelle

Growing up, Tiffany Rochelle had no reason to believe her mother was not who she claimed to be, but that all changed when she was nine. She learned her mother had been living under a false identity since before she was born, and that the name her mother had used on her birth certificate wasn’t real. From that point, Tiffany’s life was never the same. By the time she was twenty-five, her mother had used twenty-seven known aliases and had created just as many lives to go along with them. As she got older and “found” herself in the world of art, Tiffany realized that even if she could have chosen her mother, she would choose the same one nature had already selected for her. Tiffany knew that she would not have achieved success as an artist were it not for her mother’s insane influence. Tiffany Rochelle’s story shows how true the saying, “You can’t choose your family” is and why you should be grateful for them.

Insane Roots is a fast read with adventure around every corner. Each segment keeps you wanting more. It's hard to believe that someone could actually live through it and come out as a normal human-being. Can't wait for the next book for further adventures.

A tragically beautiful read. Tiffany shares her heart in the story of lies and deception of her growing-up years. Her honest retelling of her childhood will make you laugh, cry, frustrated, yet somehow uplifted. Thanks for sharing your story, Tiffany.
