A chat with Amanda Bennett on ‘The Cost of Hope’
WHYY’s senior health writer Taunya English spoke with author Amanda Bennett about her new book, “The Cost of Hope: The Story of a Marriage, a Family and the Quest for Life.”
It’s the story of Bennett’s husband, Terence Foley, who battled kidney cancer for seven years, a fight that cost more than $600,000.
Bennett, an executive editor at Bloomberg News, used her journalism skills to tally the emotional and financial costs of end-of-life care. She is former executive editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Before his death, Foley taught journalism at Temple and Drexel universities.
