Max Goes To The Farm
Among all the little paws that passed through author Nicole Marks's home, one tiny pup stood out — a brave, bright-eyed Jack Russell named Max.
Nicole thought she had rescuing him, but the truth is… Max rescued her. He fills her life with a joy she didn’t even know she was missing.
This book - and the series that follows, is our way of celebrating how one small rescue dog can make a big difference. Through Max’s adventures, we want to share the simple, beautiful truth that love, when given freely, comes back tenfold.
Max's Mission
Every dog deserves their own happy ending, the profits from this series will go back to the place that started it all — the Friends of the Animal Shelter (FOTAS). Their tireless work to give these animals a future will always have our family’s support.
Max may be living his best life now, but this story is really about how he helped us live ours with more heart.
About The Author
Nicole Marks has always had an undeniable love for animals. Nicole was always rescuing something or making friends with a member of the animal kingdom, much to her family's dissatisfaction. From a frostbitten field mouse, to a rehabbed chicken that took up residence in the bathtub, or the lame duck with the broken leg that needed a cast.
Nicole relocated to New England, where she taught therapeutic riding for special-needs children and adults.
When they are not at their winter home in Hobe Sound, Florida, or visiting their horses in the Virginia countryside, Nicole and her husband enjoy summers traveling by boat up the eastern seaboard, stopping at all the tiny towns from Maryland to Nantucket to Maine.
