About

Set against the backdrop of the war in Afghanistan, Saving Cinnamon chronicles the love story of Navy Reservist Mark Feffer and a stray puppy he bonded with while stationed outside of Kandahar. When Mark is about to return stateside, he decides to adopt Cinnamon and sets up her transport back to the U.S. But, the unthinkable happens and Cinnamon is abandoned by the dog handler who was supposed to bring her home, and disappears without a trace. Mark and his family start a desperate search for the puppy, which lasts 44 days and ends dramatically when Mark and Cinnamon are finally reunited. This is a touching memoir told by Mark's sister, who initiated the rescue efforts.

"At the heart of Cinnamon's story is the fact that love is the most powerful energy on the planet. Saving Cinnamon is a wonderful tale of compassion and perseverance. This book reminds us of how many good people there are throughout the world and proves that animal's lives bring meaning to our own and make life worth living. I hope more people will be inspired to save a stray or a shelter dog aft
