In this episode of Explore with Lori Ference, Lori speaks with author and writing mentor Ani Tuzman about her powerful memoir Angels on the Clothesline.

Ani grew up on a back road chicken farm in New England as the daughter of Holocaust survivors. At the age of eight, she began writing to an invisible companion, filling page after page with questions about a world shaped by silence, loss, and the lingering shadow of the Holocaust. Those early writings became the beginning of a lifelong path of reflection, storytelling, and meaning-making.

In this conversation, Lori and Ani explore the role of voice, memory, and storytelling in healing. Ani shares excerpts from her memoir and reflects on the journey of writing about family history, trauma, and resilience.

For Lori, whose work centers on ancestral healing and the ways the past lives within us, this conversation touches on something deeply meaningful: how stories carried through generations can shape our lives, and how giving voice to them can be part of a profound healing process.

This episode invites listeners into a thoughtful exploration of writing, memory, ancestry, and the enduring human impulse to make meaning from our experiences.
