Steve's mother, Anne, asserted her newfound womanhood while confronting a deadly disease. She battled cancer for thirteen years while raising three children and working three low-wage jobs. During the last four years of her life, she was a single mother after her husband fled New York to live in California with another woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnne's family begged her to return to Vermont. She refused, believing a return home represented failure if she could not overcome a deadly disease on her own while raising three children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her weakest moments, as her illness persisted, Anne mourned the loss of her beauty and the touch of a lover, claiming, \"No man wants this body.\" In her bravest moments, she wore bikinis at public swimming pools, scars exposed, her body a reminder that we all suffer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168652542121,"sku":"PHBK-9781966607397","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/5112453482888.jpg?v=1784570804","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9781966607397","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
