The Throw Away Girl is an inspiring memoir about lighting your flame within and an
eye-opening glance into the effects of unhealed trauma within a family. Tiffany Barnes is a
young girl who grows up in a small town outside Salt Lake City, where behind closed doors,
she's experiencing fear from living in an abusive home. After her parents get divorced, Tiffany's
put into situations of sexual abuse with her stepfather and a family friend. When she speaks up
about what happened, she's not validated or supported.
A bouncing period begins, and Tiffany moves multiple times, trying to find safety, but is
unable to gain consistency. At age fifteen, she makes the decision to be emancipated, and this sets
off a new stage in her life where she's forced to make adult decisions in order to survive.
The Throw Away Girl is a compelling tale about resilience, acceptance, and creating a
new sense of home.
