No End in Sight: My Life As a Blind Iditarod Racer

For the last eleven years, twenty-one-year-old Rachel Scdoris has been a musher - guiding teams of sled dogs through mountain ranges, across frozen rivers, and over desolate tundra. It's an extraordinary achievement for a young woman, made even more remarkable by the fact that Rachel trains the dogs and competes in races without being able to fully see the animals or the race courses.
Born legally blind, Rachel grew up amid the taunts of classmates who made fun of her, but once she tapped into her innate talent as an athlete, she went on to become captain of her school track team and later an Olympic torch carrier. When Rachel discovered her love of dog sledding, she threw herself into training and competition with all her strength and all her heart. She was the youngest athlete ever to complete a 500-mile sled dog race, and she dreamed of participating in the sport's pinnacle competition: the Iditarod Trail International Sled Dog Race across the wilderness of Alaska. Because of her disability, she faced stiff opposition from the organizers of the race, but she finally achieved her goal and was allowed to participate with the help of a visual interpreter.
No End in Sight is a story of athleticism and the grace that comes from working with animals. It is also a memoir about how the support of family and an unwavering inner compass can propel anyone to achieve even seemingly insurmountable goals.
