One year ago, everyone was talking about Terri Schiavo.
Now her family -- parents Robert and Mary Schindler, brother Bobby Schindler and sister Suzanne Schindler Vitadamo -- have collaborated on a new book that throws open the curtains on those emotional times as they fought to keep her alive and watched a private family feud culminate in a surreal public spectacle outside the hospice where she lived.
A Life That Matters: The Legacy of Terri Schiavo -- A Lesson For Us All, on sale March 28, drops no bombshells but offers an enlightening glimpse into the private lives and tremendous personal suffering of a family that became consumed with stopping their son-in-law, Michael Schiavo, from removing the feeding tube that kept Terri alive for 15 years.
Michael Schiavo, who recently remarried and is releasing his own book March 27, has repeatedly denied hurting his wife. He contended that he sought the court order to remove her feeding tube because he once promised her that he would never keep her alive by artificial means with no hope of recovery.
