Speaking For Ourselves

2010 Annual Conference
     Friday, June 18, 2010
at The Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey
Harrisburg, PA  

Keynote Speaker: Rachel Simon

Rachel Simon is the author of five books: the
memoirs Riding The Bus With My Sister (2002)
and Building A Home With My Husband (2009);
the writing book The Writer’s Survival Guide
(1997); the novel The Magic Touch (1994); and
the short story collection Little Nightmares,
Little Dreams (1990).

Although her first three books were critically acclaimed

and established a following, it was her first memoir,

Riding the Bus with My Sister, that put her on bestseller

lists. Focusing on the relationship between Rachel and

her sister Beth, who has an intellectual disability, it was

adapted for a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie starring Rosie

O’ Donnell as Beth, Andie McDowell as Rachel, and was

directed by Angelica Houston.
