A book about dedication, the love of dogs, and the endurance and mental toughness needed to running the Iditarod -- from a female perspective. Lisa Frederic didn't set out to run the Iditarod.
She just fell in love with the event and wanted to help. She ended up working as a volunteer for the Trail Committee at various checkpoints. Then she helped Iditarod champion Jeff King train
his puppies. She had never mushed before. She was a rookie, but a rookie with heart and drive. She started out with shorting races and eventually raced in the big one. Her story speaks to
everyone who has ever followed a dream and found that the dream realized is even bigger than the imagined one.
