Fast into the Night: A Woman, Her Dogs, and Their Journey

Fast into the Night: A Woman, Her Dogs, and Their Journey North on the Iditarod Trail

A captivating memoir of one womanâ€™s attempt to finish the Iditarod, led by her team of spunky huskies with whom she shares a fascinating and inextricable bond

At age forty-seven, a mother of two, Debbie Moderow was not your average musher in the Iditarod, but thatâ€™s where she found herself when, less thanÂ 200 miles from the finish line, her dogs decided they didnâ€™t want to run anymore. After all her preparation, after all the careful management of her team, and after their running so well for over a week, the huskies balked. But the sting of not completing the race after coming so far was nothing compared to the disappointment Moderow felt in having lost touch with her dogs.
Â
Fast into the Night is the gripping story of Moderowâ€™s journeys along the Iditarod trail with her team of spunky huskies: Taiga and Su, Piney and Creek, Nacho and Zeppy, Juliet and the headstrong leader, Kanga. The first failed attempt crushed Moderowâ€™s confidence, but after reconnecting with her dogs she returned and ventured again to Nome, pushing through injuries,Â hallucinations, epic storms, flipped sleds, and clashing personalities, both human and canine. And she prevailed.
Â
Part adventure, part love story, part inquiry into the mystery of the connection between humans and dogs, Fast into the Night is an exquisitely written memoir of a woman, her dogs, and what can happen when someone puts herself in that place between daring and doubtâ€”and soldiers on.
