Judy Woodruff interviews Rachel Simon for the PBS News Hour
Could there be a better way to kick off the release of the paperback of The Story of Beautiful Girl than to get interviewed by Judy Woodruff on the PBS News Hour?
Yesterday I flew to Colorado. I’m currently in Boulder, getting ready for a talk tonight. After another talk on Sunday, I begin my book tour on Monday. (To see where I’ll be going, check out my Appearance page on my website.) I’ll blog whenever I get the time.
But earlier this week, on Tuesday, I went to Washington, DC and taped the interview. It was an honor to meet Judy Woodruff, not only because she’s a legendary journalist who I’ve admired for years, but because she has a personal connection to disability.
The interview aired last night, Feb. 9, 2012. To watch it, click on this link. Enjoy!

Outstanding interview my friend.
This is fantastic, Rachel! I really appreciate how you describe the point of view you have as a sibling and that your point of view captures the other many points of view of the other individuals and systems involved in our lives.
You have inspired me once again. i loved the interview and I loved how you talked about respect for others no matter how they appear in their physical bodies, We are all human spirits and as such have the same need for respect. You have used your special talent of writing to help others. Great interview!
