It will make you prouder of your distinct individuality, while also making you proud to be part of the whole human family. This page-turning journey is impossible to read without laughing, and unimaginable to read without crying.

Throughout the book, Rachel Simon brings to light the world of adults with developmental disabilities, finds unlikely heroes in everyday life, and discovers unrealized strength in herself - and her indomitable, unforgettable sister. Riding The Bus With My Sister weaves together three strands: the chronicle of this remarkable bus odyssey, life lessons Beth and Rachel learned from the characters they met on their travels, and memories of their riveting family story, unusual by any standard.

Rachel says yes, and so begins a journey that changes both sisters' lives. One day, Beth invites Rachel to join her for a year on the buses. Rachel, a driven professor and writer, is struggling to come to terms with her own ambitions and loneliness - as well as her distant feelings toward her one-of-a-kind sister. When the book opens, Beth is spending her days riding the buses in the city where she lives, creating powerful connections with the drivers and passengers. Rachel Simon's sister Beth is a spirited woman who lives intensely and often joyfully, and who also happens to have developmental disabilities (or what used to be known as 'mental retardation'). If you've ever loved someone you grew apart from - maybe a sister, maybe a friend, maybe someone who was once very special to you - you know the deep longing that led to the inspiring true story, Riding The Bus With My Sister.
