- Riding the Bus with My Sister
"Riding the Bus with My Sister" is a memoir by Rachel Simon, published in 2002 by Houghton Mifflin about the time she spent with her mentally challenged sister Beth, whose lifestyle centers around riding buses in her home city.
Adaptation
In 2005, the book was adapted into a television movie for CBS in which Rosie O'Donnell appears as Beth, a developmentally disabled woman who is dependent on her father. When her father dies, her sister, played by Andie MacDowell, comes to stay with her. At first, they fight about Beth's rampant consumption of junk food, resulting in bringing her cholesterol levels up, but after six months Rachel realizes that Beth is content with her life.
It was directed by Anjelica Huston and filmed in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/List?endings=on&&locations=Hamilton,+Ontario,+Canada |title=Internet Movie Database - List of Films shot in Hamilton, Ontario|accessdate=2008-01-29] ] References
