Moderow, Debbie Clarke

Follows the story of Debbie Clarke Moderow, who at the age of forty-seven entered the Iditarod for the first time and, less than 200 miles from the finish line, found that her beloved huskies no longer wanted to run. Desperate to figure out how she had lost touch with her dogs, Moderow spent the next two years training and reconnecting, and finally, after much hardship, human and canines finished the race.

Part adventure, part love story, and part inquiry into the mystery of the connection between humans and dogs, this book is a memoir of a woman, her dogs, and what can happen in the place between daring and doubt. Debbie Clarke Moderow ran the Alaskan Iditarod with her sled dogs in 2003 and 2005.
