Beth Simon is an adult and retarded. She spends her time riding the city busses. Her sister, Rachel Simon is eleven months older than Beth. For one month of the year they are twins. Rachel agrees to ride the busses with Beth for a year.

As we ride the busses with Beth and Rachel we, like Rachel, get to know people we would not otherwise encounter in our normal lives. It is a wonderful experience.

G. K. Chesterton is supposed to have said that Christianity hasn't failed, it has never been tried. He was wrong. Christianity succeeds every day in many ways under many guises.
