Book excerpt

Mason invites readers on a heartfelt journey that transcends species boundaries, exploring the profound connections between animals and humans in her latest novel. Initially wary of her farmer-owner, Cinnamon, a talking cow, overcomes her doubts to form a bond with the farmer, Jodi, who is struggling with the ethics of consuming animals. As Jodi grows closer to Cinnamon, she begins to question her own diet and lifestyle, ultimately planning to turn the farm into an animal sanctuary. Will she succeed?

Mason’s evocative prose brings depth to Cinnamon’s reflections, portraying animals as emotionally complex beings with desires that transcend species. The first-person narrative offers an intimate view of Cinnamon’s world, drawing readers into her journey toward freedom. Cinnamon’s journey encourages readers to see farm animals in a new light, depicting them as creatures with intricate emotional lives who deserve empathy and respect. This theme resonates powerfully in today’s society, where conversations surrounding animal welfare and ethical farming practices are gaining momentum. Additionally, Mason weaves in commentary on gender roles within the agricultural community, highlighting the struggles and triumphs of women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Mason’s ability to blend emotional depth with social commentary makes this book a compelling read for those seeking to understand the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of empathy in our daily lives.

A powerful tale of connection and compassion that challenges our perspectives on freedom, friendship, and the lives of farm animals.
