In 1997, Mary Saracino's gradual loss of voice was diagnosed as spasmodic dysphonia, a rare, incurable, yet treatable condition. VOICES OF THE SOFT-BELLIED WARRIOR is her memoir offering a personal glimpse into the author's body-mind-spirit healing journey to reclaim her voice on many levels. Through her four-year struggle, Mary excavated her passion for life and reclaimed her voice as a writer.
