Grace In The Fire

What happens when the fight you thought was over becomes your own?

Grace in the Fire is a raw, courageous memoir by Debi Nieto—a mother who learned how to survive the unthinkable when her teenage son was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive bone cancer during the height of the COVID pandemic. As a cancer mom, Debi navigated hospital hallways, life-altering surgeries, shattered expectations, and the relentless fear no parent is ever prepared for. She learned how to be strong because she had no other choice.

Years later, just when life began to feel whole again, cancer came back—this time for her. Diagnosed with an incurable and terminal cancer, Debi was forced to confront a reality she never asked for and cannot escape. There is no bell to ring. No victory lap. Just treatment, faith, family, and the decision to keep living fully anyway.

With honesty, heart, and a touch of sass, Grace in the Fire is not a story about winning cancer—it’s about standing in the flames and refusing to let them define you. It’s about grief and gratitude existing side by side. About love that carries you when your body can’t. About choosing purpose even when the ending is uncertain.

This book is for the caregivers, the fighters, the exhausted, the faithful, and the ones learning how to be brave when bravery wasn’t on the plan. It’s proof that grace isn’t found after the fire—it’s forged inside it.
