What an inspiring memoir about a woman who rides the bus (every day for many hours) with her sister in Pennsylvania. She writes about her sister's troubles and triumphs living on her own with a disability. When I emailed the author (another Bryn Mawr alum) about my love for the book, she informed me that her sister's boyfriend (also with a disability) voted today for the first time. It was such a great message to receive back from her.

I love this story. I love the historical insight that is a part of our country we never acknowledge. I love the balance of character perspective. I love Lynnie and Kate and Homan.
I so appreciate the authors ability to relate horribly ugly situations and characters without becoming overly graphic. She took the reader to those places and introduced them to those characters and brought the scene or character to life vividly without resorting to cheap unnecessary graphicness.
There are parts of this book where you have to suspend belief because there are some gaps and some things that would really take extraordinary events for it to play out the way it did. I was able to do that because I did care about the characters.
