No End In Sight is the first-person story of a young sled dog racer who had to overcome an incredible obstacle to compete--born legally blind, Rachael grew up amid the taunts of classmates who made fun of her until her innate athletic talent gave her an arena in which to shine. Rachael was the youngest athlete ever to compete in a 500-mile sled dog race, but her dream goal was to participate in the sport's top competition: the Iditarod Trail International Sled Dog Race across the wilderness of Alaska. She faced stiff opposition from the organizers of the race because of her disability, but she never gave up--and finally was allowed to compete 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 stirring memoir about how an unwavering inner compass can propel anyone to achieve even seemingly insurmountable goals.

This is an amazing book for anyone who enjoys biographies or wants to experience a different viewpoint. It's the story of a woman born legally blind and her fight to lead a normal life as a dog musher and to run the Iditarod sled dog race. More than that, it reminds us that when people have challenges such as blindness, etc., are too often the focus of amazement that they did this in spite of their challlenge and not congratulated just for doing it. We emphasize the disability and not the accomplishment. I fond this book highly informative and very well written and would reccommend it to anyone.
