Books by Terri Schiavo’s Family Are Coming Out

Michael Schiavo’s book about the fight to let his brain-damaged wife die, called “Terri: The Truth,” is to be released today, the day before a book by Terri Schiavo’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, “A Life That Matters: The Legacy of Terri Schiavo, a Lesson For Us All,” is released.

Friday will be the first anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s death, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed.

Michael Schiavo fought the Schindlers in court for eight years over removal of his wife’s life support, arguing she would not have wanted to be kept alive in what doctors called a persistent vegetative state.

The Schindlers argued that she retained some level of consciousness.
