If you are looking for a cozy winter read, allow me to suggest Behind the Fan, Bronze Medalist in the Wishing Book Awards.
"Behind the Fan" is a multi-faceted story that reveals a mysterious family history, sensual romance, and startling realizations."
Follow the family of Dorothy Kennedy-Denham as they care for her. Dottie has lived nearly a century, outliving friends, family and the love of her life Nicky. She slips into the past often, and the family is at a loss as to how to reach her. She, however, has found a place that gives her peace and comfort, one where she again celebrates her life and her love. Her memory lapse allows Nicky the opportunity to connect with her again, holding him in ‘The Void’ where he can only move forward if she joins him. Dottie would willingly do so, but she has unfinished business to attend first.
The tale explores if the state of dementia could be something more, or could it be this is what we simply hope. The setting of Newport Kentucky based on the city’s rich and interesting history. I grew up in northern Kentucky and I am not ashamed to say my family may have had a gangster or two in our family tree as well. I feel the characters are rich and multifaceted, keeping the reader turning to the next page.
