Every day, thousands of people quietly face decisions as agonizing as those made famous in the Terri Schiavo case. Throughout that controversy, all kinds of people--politicians, religious leaders, legal and medical experts--made emphatic statements about the facts and offered even more certain opinions about what should be done. To many, courts were either ordering Terri's death by starvation or vindicating her constitutional rights. Both sides called for simple answers. If That Ever Happens to Me details why these simple answers were not right for Terri Schiavo and why they are not right for end-of-life decisions today. Lois Shepherd looks behind labels like "starvation," "care," or "medical treatment" to consider what care and feeding really mean, when feeding tubes might be removed, and why disability groups, the faithful, and even the dying themselves often suggest end-of-life solutions that they might later regret. For example, Shepherd cautions against living wills as a pat answer. She provides evidence that demanding letter-perfect documents can actually weaken, rather than bolster, patient choice. The actions taken and decisions made during Terri Schiavo's final years will continue to have repercussions for thousands of others--those nearing death, their families, health-care professionals, attorneys, lawmakers, clergy, media, researchers, and ethicists. If That Ever Happens to Me is an excellent choice for anyone interested in end-of-life law, policy, and ethics--particularly readers seeking a deeper understanding of the issues raised by Terri Schiavo's case.

"When Brian told me of his affair, my whole world was shattered. Since the affair, and since the difficult recovery period, I have excelled in amazing ways in every area of my life. I look and feel better than I did when I was in my twenties. I have more energy, more zeal and more enthusiasm for life. Since I have gotten over my insecurities, I experience far better relationships with my husband, children and others. I also have more fun. No matter what tragedies happen in our lives, we always have a choice, not a choice over what will happen to us, but a choice over how we will react to it. Will we become bitter or better? I chose to become better, and now my greatest tragedy has also become my greatest personal victory." – Anne Bercht "Would I want to go back to our marriage before the affair? Not a chance! Would I have liked to have gotten to this point some other way? Absolutely! Would I recommend an affair to others so they can reach a greater love and better marriage? Absolutely not! If you have experienced an affair, is rebuilding your marriage worth it? You bet it is! As long as you love each other and are willing to do the work." – Brian Bercht

Her would-be leading man is her new friend's boyfriend. There's nothing worse than being in love with someone you can't have...or at least, she thinks it's love.

James "JE" Thomas hadn't thought much about his classes-or God-before his classroom at the University of Missouri in Columbia was stormed by armed gunmen. As they murdered anyone Christian, JE's guilt at denying his faith was assuaged by the comfort of Pearl-a classmate he'd noticed, but hadn't met. Realizing how much they had in common-including their attraction to each other-Pearl and JE developed a love like neither had ever felt. Along the way, Pearl and her family even reignited JE's love for the church they had both grown up in. As the twists and turns of life come at JE and Pearl, scandal and divisiveness force them out of the church they love. When someone threatens their daughter, the call of God takes them halfway around the world into an unknown life. Will they be able to return home? And-if they do-will they come home as a family? With almost-legendary family history to live up to, JE shoulders the weight of the world to do what's right-and is changed forever in the bargain.
