Behind the Fan by Caroline Walken
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Behind the Fan by Caroline Walken, 5 stars.

Dorothy Kennedy-Denham has lived a long, long life. At almost 100, she has out-lived her husband and her children. Now comes the time where she is no longer able to live in her own house any more. Her 2 granddaughters and 2 great-granddaughters come to clear her house and get ready to move her into a home. Little do they know just how life-changing this event will be for all of them. They are each broken in their own way. When they learn more about this older women’s life, they are amazed at just how interesting it really was. And they may just come to learn that there is more to life then to what they think.

This book was absolutely amazing. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I could not put this book down once I started. The details of Dottie’s life in the earlier years was so detailed, I really did feel like I was there. That era fascinates me and I was very happy at how well it was done. Then there is the present day and the things the younger generations learn affects them in way they never thought possible.

It is a book full of love, family, surviving the hardships, and moving on. Centered around a very strong woman, this book takes you on a journey the like you have never been. I highly recommend this book.
