John Bye has lived in rural western Massachusetts for more than 30 years. In a divided time, this podcast documents his search for common ground among those who live…In These Hills.
In this episode John talks with Ana Toth. It was time to escape the city. After several intermediate stops, and a bit of good luck, Ana and her young family landed here in Cummington, joining her mom who had recently moved to town. That was about ten years ago. Since then, Ana lost her mom, but she had found home. After a life spent moving and adapting, this story is about finding the threads of community, stitching them together, and making home. Enjoy!

Episode 16 coming soon.
