Meet North Carolina resident, writer, and author Ed Di Gangi and hear about his debut memoir, The Gift Best Given on this Season Opener of The Writing Wall Podcast.
Edward Di Gangi was adopted at birth in New York City. An only child, he made no effort to explore his heredity until, at age 67, a visit to a cemetery where members of his adoptive mother's family were buried stirred his interest.
Over the past three years, through extensive archival research and DNA testing, Ed has peeled back the layers of his once-unknown family.
Set in the 1940s, as America emerged from the Great Depression and went to war, Ed's book, The Gift Best Given, recounts the search for his family and tells the story of a young woman's courage as she overcame obstacles to achieve her dreams.
Ed and his wife, Linda, live in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Their son, James, and his fiancee, Renee, live in nearby Durham.
