About Kelly Motley

Ann  Patchett’s Parnassus, one of the most celebrated Indie bookstores in America,  hosted an in-person conversation event with Kelly about her book along with the  Vanderbilt Bookstore and other independently owned bookstores. 

The Fight for My Life received praise from bestselling authors such as Rebecca  Wells the author of Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. One of the world’s  biggest Christian authors Stormie Omartian said,“Kelly Motley’s book is about  spiritual hope and power and courageously getting into the ring when facing your  worst enemy. In her case it is a formidable cancer opponent. This is one of the  best written books I have read and there is an important lesson for everyone who  reads it. She does not gloss over her raw feelings or her struggles as she has to  deal with each new stage, disappointment, and complication. She faced her  worst fears head on – including near death – and came out the other side  stronger than ever. Whenever I have to face my worst fear or greatest enemy, I  intend to read this book again to remind me how to do it.” 

Kelly has owned her own public relations and brand marketing company, working  with publicly traded companies, CEOs and entrepreneurs in Nashville’s $92  billion healthcare industry.

She  and her husband of almost 30 years live in Nashville and they have two sons, a  new daughter-in-law, a German Shepard named Chloe (who was written about  in The WSJ) and chickens.
