Grandmother's Fan

Grandmother's Fan is the story of a beloved family quilt, told from its own perspective and spanning four generations across 90 years. From the moment of its creation, the quilt is able to hear the activities around it. It learns of the world by listening to its family's interactions and soon longs to view its surroundings and the people it has come to know and love. A request by a ghostly visitor to the household unleashes a series of events that impact the quilt in ways it never thought possible.

In mesmerizing detail, the quilt vicariously experiences the Titanic's sinking in 1912, two world wars, the advent of television, and America's march into the 21st century. The quilt finds happiness in the most unexpected ways and comes to realize just how precious life can be.

Grandmother's Fan, the debut novel of Sandy DuClos Eckart, is a magical tale for all ages, a book that will leave you wondering about the so-called inanimate objects around you . . . and asking, What would it be like to be a fly on the wall?
