Grandezza’s own Sharmin Fairbanks McKenny promoted and autographed her newly published novel, Made to Last Forever: A Family. A House. A Nation., at the November luncheon. The historical novel depicts Sharmin’s ancestral family and their 17th-century colonial life. The Fairbanks House, built in 1637 in Dedham, Massachusetts, where her ancestors originally settled upon arrival from England, is the oldest timber-frame house still standing in North America.
