Short Description:
This is a wonderful memoir about an exceptional woman and her big yellow Lab, Max. It is a true and engaging story about their adventures traveling in a 33 foot motorhome, and how these experiences changed the author’s life. It is an inspiring book that will appeal to anyone interested in a good story about dogs and self-discovery.
Publisher’s Comments:
This book is The Last Lecture and Eat, Pray, Love meets Marley and Me. It is a powerful and true story of the author’s personal journey, and how her big Lab, Max, helped her to “unleash” her life and taught her to rely on her own inner wisdom. It is beautifully written and will be an inspiration to many readers.
Author’s Comments:
Travels with Max is a true story: it is partly about my wonderful yellow Lab named Max, it is partly about me as a woman learning to drive and manage a big motorhome, but mostly it is about how Max dramatically changed or “unleashed” my life. The challenges and experiences that I’ve had since I adopted him have taught me how to accept life however it comes with grace and gratitude. That is a very big gift from a very big dog.
