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. <br><br> Full of life lessons from which any reader will profit, <i>Riding the Bus with My Sister</i> is "a heartwarming, life-affirming journey through both the present and the past...[that] might just change your life" (Boston Herald). 39788 2002 Riding the Bus with My Sister: A True Life Journey total:854|5:146|4:310|3:300|2:80|1:18| 854 3048 1230 186 40100 0452284554 9780452284555 845 185 3.57 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169387109m/40100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40100.Riding_the_Bus_with_My_Sister_A_True_Life_Journey 4 1 false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 19 12:48:48 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 07 13:03:09 -0800 2008 more...]]> 40100 0452284554 9780452284555 845 185 3.57 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1169387109m/40100.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40100.Riding_the_Bus_with_My_Sister_A_True_Life_Journey 3 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 02 15:42:43 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 15:44:27 -0800 2008
