The Distance Between Ink and Voice

Every nation has a history. Not all of it was meant to be read.In The Distance Between Ink and Voice, the Whitmans enter the age of legal suppression and misremembered testimony-an era where archival fidelity clashes with lived truth. Civic records diverge from familial memory. Transcripts are doctored. Diaries disappear. And a young Clara Whitman learns to send letters that can't be intercepted-not with stamps, but with song.This is a story told through redacted minutes, mis-shelved memories, and testimonial ghostwriting. Where memory must choose: write what happened, or keep saying what it meant.Ink is permanent. Voice persists.
