Synopsis
While Eleanor Clift cared for her husband, journalist Tom Brazaitis, through the last two weeks of his life, the nation watched a very different death play out as Terri Schiavo entered her final days. In the commonalities and contradictions between these events, Clift probes the underlying questions: How should we handle the decisions surrounding a loved one's death? What if that loved one did not—or cannot—speak to us about these issues?

Review
"Kirkus Reviews"
"A powerful mix of opinion, reporting and poignant recollection."
"Booklist"
"Clift's situation with her husband is an intensely personal one, and readers will feel for the couple as they learn of his diagnosis and their attempts to find extraordinary treatments to cure the cancer that originated in his kidney and then spread to his brain."
Morton M. Kondracke, author of "Saving Milly: Love, Politics and Parkinson's Disease"
"As someone who has cared for a dying spouse, I found Eleanor Clift's story of her last days with her beloved Tom moving and enriching--and her account of poor Terri Schiavo's demise, perfectly horrifying. This book will enlighten all who read it--hopefully including our national leaders--about the difference between 'good death' and 'bad death.'"
John Danforth, former United States Senator from Missouri
""Two Weeks of Life" helps us think deeply about about the end of life decisions that the successes of modern medicine have thrust upon us: how and how long to survive under the most dire conditions."
"New York Times Book Review"
"Eleanor Clift's reporting on the Schiavo ordeal is thorough, and her tender description of her husband's exemplary death demonstrates how hospice care can help achieve what she calls a 'more peaceful ushering in of the inevitable.'"
Helen Thomas, Hearst Newspapers columnist
"Eleanor Clift has written a remarkable book about the disgraceful government intervention in the death of Terri Schiavo and brilliantly melded in the death of newspaper man Tom Brazaitis, her husband. She tells the story that gripped the nation and made it deal with the profound questions of life and death. It's a great book."
