Rah Gist is a military widow, homeschooling mother of two and avid journal keeper of more than 20 years. Her debut children's book, "If You Hand Your Mom a Rice Cake" illustrates her whimsical yet meaningful approach to nonfiction as a single parent. A certified life coach, Rah and her children live in Missouri and inconsistently blog some of their adventures part of the time. She can occasionally be found using intended puns and asking probing questions on the Rice Cake Book Facebook page. Check it out at: https: //www.facebook.com/ricecakebook.
