Product Description
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 with out 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.

Has the Makings of a Good Movie November 15, 2009
Charles F. Myers (Portland, TN USA)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The plight of Cinnamon and the Herculean efforts needed to get her from Afghanistan to Maryland make a fascinating and heartwarming story. I am glad Ms. Sullivan took the time to write the book.
The book itself is somewhat on the long side. I found myself skimming through many sections, especially the many (often repetitive) emails which are reproduced verbatim. I wish the editor had tightened up the book a little more.
A good script writer could transform this book into a nice movie. I certainly hope that some smart Hollywood studio has the foresight to buy the movie rights and actually make the movie!
