This week, I decided to post this excerpt from my novel Cinnamon: a dairy cow’s path (and her farmer’s) to freedom (published by Adelaide Books in New York and Lisbon) which I first wrote five years ago. This section is based on my partner’s description of The Cow Sanctuary. I later visited the sanctuary several times. The Cow Sanctuary, where cows and other animals can live out their natural lives, is a truly magical place. This section is written from the point of view of the female dairy farmer who turns her farm into a sanctuary. Cinnamon (the name of the dairy cow) is written as a tribute to the important work that sanctuary owners and operators do every day. The excerpt is recorded on YouTube below and under that is the text of the same excerpt.read an excerpt on my author blog: CINNAMON— in celebration of the work of #sanctuaries #amreading #plant-based | Janet Mason, author
