"Vivid...allowing armchair mushers a chance to feel like they're along for the ride...One Mush is a great read about an event so unlikely that it probably couldn't pass as fiction."

Fairbanks Newsminer

"One of dog mushing's finest authors"

Hugh Neff

"I like it. It's good. It's real."

Chris Blackwell - founder of Island Records (Bob Marley, Grace Jones, U2), member Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Newton Marshall is a hero of mine and a hero of our times. How could he not be? His story of raising himself up from humble and difficult beginnings to finding, pursuing and accomplishing his dream is as inspiring a story as you will ever read.

Jimmy Buffett - musician

"I am blown away by this story. It's not just moving and well-told ... it also teaches us what is universal in the navigation of the earth we share as its creatures; how both dogs and man can be each other's salvation if we could only learn to love and trust each other as we face the plights we share ... How utterly unexpected and uplifting. It makes me want to start all over again at the very beginning and try this thing called living one more time ... and get it better."

Rachel Manley
