I was expecting sappy sentimentality and was pleasantly surprised by the 'realistic' approach to the story. I understood photographer/artist Rachel's reluctance to step into a caregiver position with sister Beth that even their own mother had abandoned. Beth was not a cutesy, "help me" character. She had her life and was living it much like Rachel. I've heard the true measure of a movie is a "willing suspension of disbelief" by the viewer. When I kept hoping for someone to sit soda swilling, donut eating Beth down and explain the horrors of diabetes, I knew the story had pulled me in. I wanted to know more about the characters in RIDING THE BUS WITH MY SISTER. I am going to read the book in hope of finding out more about Beth and the people in her life.
