Book Reviews of Cold Hands, Warm Heart: Alaskan Adventures of an Iditarod Champion
Book Review: Cold Hands, Warm Heart - "A Must Read" book
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are planning to visit Denali, Alaska, this book should be one of the top books on your required reading list BEFORE your visit. If your only definition of the Iditarod is that it is an annual dog sled race between two places in Alaska where huskies pull a sled with a driver, this is a "must read" book. If you enjoy reading a book that you cannot put down until you finish the chapter, "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" is for you. Jeff may have cold, frost-bitten hands but his warm heart is full of love for his family, friends, and animals both tame and wild.
I met Jeff and his family on Father's Day this year (2008) at the Husky Homestead in Denali and my one regret was that I did not realize how fortunate my family and I were to be there until AFTER I read his book on my return home. Jeff is not only driven to be an Iditarod winner but more than that, he is driven to make to make this world a better place for other people.
Summary of Cold Hands, Warm Heart: Alaskan Adventures of an Iditarod Champion
Known as the Winningest Musher in the World, Jeff King remains one of the top mushers in the history of sled dog sports. Since his first race in 1979, King and his well-trained teams of Alaska huskies have racked up many thousands of training miles and trail hours. The result: win after win after win, crossing the finish line first in more than a dozen major races, including the two internationally known giants: the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest. In the process, King has also racked up thirty years of first-person stories that offer a glimpse into the heart of a champion, the rugged Alaskan lifestyle, and the charismatic world of dogs.Iditarod & Dog-Sledding Books
