On The Bus: A Novel Kimberly Scott It is 1975. Boston is mired in the chaos of court-ordered forced busing. Protest marches course through the streets daily. Children attend schools teeming with armed riot police. Angry mobs heckle students as they step off school buses. Snipers are staked out on school rooftops. This story will take you from the explosively integrated school hallways to the bloody street battles with police, from the drug dens of Roxbury to the stately homes surrounding Charlestown. It will bring you back to the roiling anger and moral ambiguity that rocked Boston and the country during the tumult of the forced busing era. And it will deliver you intimately into the lives of these two families struggling desperately to survive it all.

In the late 1980s she moved to Boston and launched her own consulting firm. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, novelist David S. Brody, and their two daughters.
