The Yukon
Quest was founded on the premise that a dog driver and his team should be a
self-sufficient unit capable of challenging varied terrain and severe weather.
But these conditions may prove to be too much, even for Kyle and King.

My Review:
Last year I read
‘Hope in Every Raindrop’ by Wesley Banks. I really loved that book. So when I
had the opportunity to sign up for the blog tour of ‘Faith in Every Footstep’ I
did so as fast as I could. ‘Faith in Every Footstep’ is the first book about
Kyle Walker and his Carolina Grays.

Kyle Walker and his Carolina Grays.
This book was from
the very first page a very beautiful story. I loved ‘Hope in Every Raindrop’,
but in ‘Faith in Every Footstep’ we get to witness Kyle’s journey as a musher
and it was really nice to see the ‘beginning’ of his story which made this read
a little more special. The best part of this book is definitely reading about
the connection between Kyle and his dogs. Kyle traveled thousands of miles with
thirteen of his dogs to train for the Yukon Quest. And although many people
don’t think he can do it, he surprises everyone.

Normally I don’t
really like reading about things like a dog’s soul or spirit. It’s just too
unrealistic for me. But somehow Wesley Banks makes it sound beautiful in his
books. And I loved reading about it. Especially Kyle’s oldest dog King was
something special. Kyle and King had this beautiful connection what really
touched me and which made me want to keep on reading.

The relationship
between Kyle and Jenna, the vet, was something I didn’t really understand. It
was just a side part of this story. But somehow I didn’t really find it
fitting. In the end it also left me with a lot of questions. Thankfully it
didn’t bother me too much.

‘Faith in Every
Footstep’ was another great story by Wesley Banks. I loved the way he writes
about dogs and the connection they have with humans. I can’t wait to read more
from Wesley Banks.
