Riding the Bus with My Sister: A True Life Journey by Rachel Simon
4.0
Rachel Simon agrees to spend time for a year, riding with her sister with developmental disabilities on the buses in her unnamed Pennsylvania town.
This book is part biography, part confession/soul baring, part advocacy for civil rights awareness for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.
I liked it; I appreciated her honesty about the frustrations and fears of having a family member with a condition that impairs their abilities to function as a "normal" person in society.
I won't go into it all here; I'm deeply glad I read it!
