Rachel Simon

I'm a New York Times bestselling author and nationally-recognized public speaker on issues related to diversity and disability. My six books have included the novel, The Story of Beautiful Girl, and the memoir, Riding The Bus with My Sister. Both books are frequent selections of book clubs, community-wide reads, and school programs around the country. My work has been adapted for theater, NPR, the Lifetime Channel, and Hallmark Hall of Fame, whose adaptation of Riding The Bus With My Sister starred Rosie O' Donnell and Andie McDowell, and was directed by Anjelica Huston.
