About this product

Product Information

Beth is a spirited woman with mental retardation, who spends nearly every day riding the buses in Philadelphia. The drivers, a lively group, are her mentors; her fellow passengers are her community. When Beth asks her sister Rachel to accompany her on the buses for one year, they take a transcendent journey together that changes Rachel's life in incredible ways and leads her to accept her sister at long last--teaching her to slow down and enjoy the ride. Full of life lessons from which any reader will profit, Riding the Bus with My Sister is "a heartwarming, life-affirming journey through both the present and the past...[that] might just change your life" ( Boston Herald )

  • Determination of a mentally challenged sister

    I liked how the author took you through their family's life story. The reader gets an appreciation of the hardships and enjoyment of living with, taking care of, and worrying about a sister who was not born like them. As a health care professional who works with indidviduals who are mentally challenged, it was enlightening to read a family perspective. The nice suprise in the book is that the author actually learns from the sister with handicapps and her lifestyle. Many nice life lessons are touched upon. I bought this book because I appreciate those considered "special needs". What I find was what many people don't realize...how much we "normal" people can learn from those who are considered "not".
