Uncorking a Story

Hosted ByMike Carlon

Stories influence, teach and inspire us, but what about the storytellers who create them? Uncorking a Story profiles storytellers to uncover how their background and life experiences influence the stories they create. We learn what motivates them, their path to success, and what fuels them to keep creating. It all starts by asking one simple question, where does your story begin? Welcome to uncorking a story.

I love stories that involve cemeteries and libraries and today’s guest on Uncorking a Story has a one that involves both.

Meet Ed Di Gangi

Ed was adopted at birth in New York City. An only child, he made no effort to explore his heredity until, at age 69, 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. Ed joined me on Uncorking a Story today to talk about his book,The Gift Best Given, which recounts the search for his family and tells the story of a young woman’s courage as she overcame obstacles to achieve her dreams. 

Key Topics:

  1. How paying respects at his adoptive parent’s gravesite led to a desire to learn more about his birth mother.
  2. Ed’s motivation behind writing such a personal story.
  3. How Ed was wrong about why his mother gave him up for adoption.
  4. The touching story behind the title of his book.
  5. Ed’s advice to anyone seeking to write a memoir.
