BOOKS
The Focused Fight is a story about hope and survival of one ordinary family and their community of support to bring a two year old, through subsequent relapses, from the brink of death to a thriving life. Terri Tomoff has crafted her compelling story that brings a fresh voice on strength, resilience and coping strategies she learned living insurmountable odds with her son's five cancers (3X leukemia and 2X adult tongue cancer), always keeping her family and their needs first and foremost while traveling over the rocky road of this extraordinary medical journey. Her heartfelt recount of the trials and triumphs amplifies how we could all learn a deeper appreciation for the "little things" in life, along with being more empathetic and sympathetic to anyone going through a life-threatening illness or disease. Why not use some of those skills that she honed and articulated here and apply them to our world today and in our own lives? Let's shine a bright and beautiful light on advocacy, connection and vast communities of support that lifted the family up in their fight, which helped them on their path to post traumatic growth. This powerful story was written for anyone who needs hope, and the magic of miracles that are there, bubbling in abundance if we seek them.
