I read this book in two days. It is a well-written, riveting story told by the lawyer who represented the Cruzans in their legal battle fighting for the right to remove the feeding tube from their daughter, Nancy, who had been in a persistent vegetative state for years. If you enjoy medical and law topics as I do, then you will certainly enjoy this book. Bill Colby goes into great detail on the court cases which I was surprised to find so enthralling. This book should have been a bestseller!
