Follow Susan on social media and visit our BuyMeACoffee platform for her Season 5 Extra. 


John Brown's Women: Mary Brown never expected to be the wife of John Brown, much less the wife of a martyr. When her husband’s daring plan fails, Mary must leave her isolated home for hostile territory, where she finds the eyes of the nation riveted upon John—and upon her.

Spanning three decades and half the breadth of a nation, John Brown’s Women is a tale of love and sacrifice, and of the ongoing struggle for America to achieve its promise of liberty and justice for all.

The Gift Best Given - Season 5 Opener

The Gift Best Given - Season 5 Opener

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.
