DeeDee Jonrowe loves dogs, and her consuming passion is the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Winter and summer, virtually day and night (even in her dreams!), she and her huskies prepare for the annual race across Alaska. Iditarod Dreams is an absorbing, personal account of a year in the life of this remarkable woman living on the edge of the wilderness with her husband, Mike, and enough howling huskies to populate a small town. It is about the special bond between a woman and her dogs and about the astonishing measure of skill and stamina required to compete in the Iditarod.
DeeDee Jonrow has loved dogs for as long as she can remember. Her family moved ot Alaska when she was seventeen, and she became interested in sled dog racing while attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks. A competitor in twelve Iditarod races (as of this printing), Jonrowe has finished in the top ten for seven consecutive years.
