Rosalie MacKenzie is headed nowhere until she sees Smokey, a
Siberian husky suffering from neglect. Rosalie finds the
courage to rescue the dog, and—united by the bond of love
that forms between them—they save each other. Soon Rosalie and Smokey are immersed in the world of
competitive dogsled racing. Days are filled with training
runs, the stark beauty of rural Wisconsin, and the whoosh of
runners on snow. Rosalie discovers that behind the modern
sport lies a tragic history: the heartbreaking story of the
Chukchi people of Siberia. When Stalin’s Red Army displaced
the Chukchi in 1929, many were killed and others lost their
homes and their beloved Guardians—the huskies that were the
soul and livelihood of their people. Alternating between past and present, telling of a
struggling Chukchi family and a young woman discovering
herself, An Echo Through the Snow takes readers on a
gripping, profound, and uplifting dogsled ride to the
Iditarod and beyond, on a journey of survival and healing.
