Description A memoir of heartbreak, thousand-mile races, the endless Alaskan wilderness and many, many dogs from one of only a handful of women to have completed both the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod.
What was supposed to be a five-month stay turned into years on end, and now she has found and married the love of her life, become the Lead BackCountry Ranger for Denali National Park, and realized her dream.
In 2009, she took to the road with her two dogs and drove north to Denali National Park, where her quiet life revolved around the nurturing of 10 dogs and the maintenance of a remote cabin.
After writing for several newspapers and magazines, she left the publishing world to lead a life worth writing about -- one of adventure.
About the Author Kristin Knight Pace was born in Fort Worth, TX and graduated with honors from The University of Montana with a degree in photojournalism.
It\'s about pushing boundaries and overcoming paralyzing fears.
It\'s about journeying across a wild and unpredictable landscape and finding inner peace, courage and a true home.
This Much Country is the story of renewal and transformation.
While This work was enormously satisfying, Kristin became determined to complete the Iditarod -- the 1, 000-mile dogsled race from Anchorage, in south central Alaska, to Nome on the western Bering Sea coast.
Kristin and Andy married and started a sled dog kennel.
She fell in love twice: first with running sled dogs, and then with Andy, a gentle man who had himself moved to Alaska to heal a broken heart.
She learned how to survive in one of the most remote places on earth and she learned she was strong enough to be alone.
That winter, she learned that she was tougher than she ever knew.
In exchange for housing, she would take care of her friend\'s eight sled dogs.
In 2009, after a crippling divorce that left her heartbroken and directionless, Kristin decided to accept an offer to live at a friend\'s cabin outside of Denali National Park in Alaska for a few months.
