Overview

In the spirit of Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips and When Life Gives You Pears, The Mother of All Fights is an unflinching, practical, inspirational, and ultimately uplifting story of survival and renewal in the face of a devastating health crisis. Erin Soto was living the life of the average overly-committed mom and wife-managing her kids' schedules and myriad household duties while struggling to find time for herself. She had shrugged off the warning signs that something was physically ""off"" until, finally, she could not ignore her health any longer. Her world came to a crashing halt when the mother of four was delivered a shocking diagnosis at age 37: Stage 3 colon cancer. The Mother of All Fights is an uncensored glimpse into the often harrowing and sometimes shocking twists and turns of life encountered on Erin's journey toward healing her mind, body, and soul. She recounts her diagnosis and treatment; challenging conversations she had with her children; how she came to terms with questions about the future; and how she ultimately learned to use the experience as an opportunity to become deeply present in her life, connected with her body, and engaged with the world. Offering readers struggling with illness or searching for peace in the wake of personal tragedy a path to find meaning in their darkest moments, The Mother of All Fights is both a deeply personal story and practical roadmap for thriving in the face of uncertainty and loss.

Sylvia Adelson From her tips about cancer and diet to easing the impact from chemotherapy to her to her son's wish to Santa that all he wants for Christmas is his Mommy to be home from the hospitable, Erin holds nothing back.

With equal parts grit and grace, Erin Soto has accomplished a defacto Magna Carta on how to process and thrive, even in the face of the unthinkable. Soto's bold, unrelenting bravery in speaking the unspeakable strikes at the heart of a very uncomfortable conversation relevant to us all in the human experience, but rarely explored due to dated, often childish cultural taboos. This moving book is a vital gift to anyone enduring the seemingly impossible and earth shattering. Soto's wealth of experiential insight serve as both a touchstone, and a warm, comforting blanket of wisdom. The raw storytelling emotion coupled with pragmatic practical tips are rare to find in books of this genre - worthy of a film or multimedia adaptation. Highly recommend. SI SI PENALOZA, Executive Travel & Wellness Editor, JETSET Magazine The Mother of All Fights is a book I don't think I will ever forget. For the past few weeks, I can't stop thinking about all that Erin Soto went through. She remained so strong throughout all of it. She not only persevered, but she also wrote a book to share her story. Anyone facing a difficulty of any kind could benefit from reading her story. She's an inspiration to me. She's an incredible woman who can offer a lot of guidance and hope to anyone going through cancer, or any challenge in their life.
