Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

When both of your parents have died, the holidays lose their home base. There's no house to drive back to, and nobody whose job it is to gather everyone. What gets you through is deciding early who hosts now, being honest with the family you have left, and slowly building a season that fits the life you're actually living.
