Broken Trails
by D. Jordan Redhawk
Lainey Hughes, former war correspondent and current nature
photo-journalist, has been given a challenge: head to the bush of Alaska to
experience life as a rookie Iditarod musher from sign-up, through training, and
on the trail itself. But Lainey has a secret, one that she’s kept even from
herself – she’s broken, heart and soul, from her devastating days reporting from
the front lines.
Scotch Fuller has been racing dogs all her life, and is considered
a potential contender for first place in next year’s Iditarod. She loves her
dogs, loves her family, and has loved so deeply in the past that it nearly ended
her.
These two women end up together, each training and learning from
one another, each beginning to understand that a broken trail can be mended, as
can a broken heart.
