Why this guide is free
For years, Kelsey’s mom, Deb, told a story about Rally, the family corgi, taking the train to visit his grand-paw-rents. Deb passed away in 2021 before she could write it, and Kelsey’s dad two months later. Kelsey wrote the book for them, so her kids, who never got to meet their grandma, would still have her story.
“My mom died. My dad died. My dog died. That is why it took me four years to share this book.” Tap to watch Kelsey’s story.
