Susanna Graham-Pye is an award-winning writer who has worked for over 30 years for most every publication on Cape Cod. During her time working as a journalist, Graham-Pye noticed that the everpresent backdrop to nearly every story was the land and sea. Graham-Pye believes that the Cape’s landscape, for those willing to stop and listen, deeply enriches every story and tells stories of its own. This belief is the foundation of For the Unremembered, A Journey of Reflection into Cape Cod’s Connection to Slavery.
