Realizing that when a cancer diagnosis is made husbands are more likely to leave their wives, than wives leaving their sick husbands, Fiona Finn refused to become a statistic. After ten years of marriage, on Father's Day, her husband abandoned her during her stage III colon cancer treatment, leaving her and her three kids penniless. Throwing her life open in all its most intimate details, RAW reveals the story of a tumultuous life of abusive relationships; the heartbreak and pain of cancer, and the callousness of a husband leaving a wife during the most difficult of times. From abuse, divorce, bankruptcy, to being deserted during her cancer diagnosis, this one woman endures almost every woman's worst fears, and ends up discovering herself. A courageous, yet self-described desperate housewife, Fiona Finn has chosen to reveal all in order to help and inspire the many women who need hope to rebuild their lives. "Since I didn't want to become just another victim, I decided to fight back and make a difference in the fight against cancer. Now, the 'Big C' in my life will always be my children." -Fiona Finn "The confessions of a codependent housewife, who stumbled through two failed marriages, raised three kids and overcame cancer to prove her mettle as a wife, mother and survivor." -Kirkus Review Four Stars (out of Five) "Finn's candid, conversational prose will surely resonate with readers who have had similarly luckless experiences with health and romance." -ForeWord Clarion Review
