Riding the Bus with My Sister: A True Life Journey by Rachel Simon

4.0

I did cry at the end. I found this book to be touching and thoughtful. Beth’s willingness to share her childhood and her relationship with her sister are not only informative in revealing the challenges of living with and growing up with mental retardation, but present a delightfully accepting view of knowledge gained from “regular” folk, bus drivers. I appreciate this book for the celebration of simplicity and for showing the value of taking time for fostering human relationships and immersing oneself in those real, tangible elements of life. They are happening all around us.
