"Stories may remain untold, but they are hardly lost, only misplaced for a time. The blood travels like a river through the body, and it remembers, it always remembers." --Flower in the River, Chapter 1, A Family Tale Untold.   

This episode opens on the worst day of my maternal grandmother's life--the day of The Eastland Disaster. The day  when her nineteen-year-old sister was killed--along with 843 others.

When an epic tragedy seems to disappear from the memories of families, a city's consciousness, and history in general, the question is, why? I promise no answers--easy or otherwise. But, I have some ideas. So, come along with me and let me know what you think.
