What I liked

It’s an honest dialogue between Rebecca and her audience that reminds us all we are not alone and even on the crowded Metro line there are angels in disguise.

What I didn't like

Not to forget Stella, her little dog, who traveled with her through the danger and even came out for a nod at the end of the show.

My overall impression

Rebecca’s moving show could be retitled “The Kindness of Strangers” as she tells of her battle with cancer, the years of treatment, her daily commute by LA city bus and the respect, love and support she so often got from other passengers who offered her solace and kindness and even an embrace to help her survive the pain, sorrow and despair that daily threatened her.
