"There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions. It is the true story of two life-altering events and the personal transformation that resulted from their unlikely collision. It’s the story of an owner preparing to sell his business and retire just as he is diagnosed with cancer. Faced with the choice of continuing with the sale and waiting to deal with cancer or putting the deal-making on hold while treating cancer, our business owner decides to take on both at the same time. Is this possible? Perhaps, but only if he allows others to step in while he steps back, and that’s never easy when you’re the boss."

REVIEW: What makes this memoir stand out are the memorable nuggets of wisdom that McIntyre imparts. There Are No Answers Here; Only Questions is a highly readable and sagacious account of overcoming obstacles and building success. – Kirkus Reviews

Join us this evening as we discuss author Charles Bruce McIntyre's memoir titled There Are No Answers Here, Only Questions. Visit our BuyMeACoffee page for his Season Finale Extra and his website for more details.

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.

This story takes place in one of North Carolina's most well-known resorts, the Grove Park Inn located in Asheville.

It has been hailed by reviewers as "A period piece that illuminates and echoes our current time. A powerful story told by voices that ring true as scripture. Even As We Breathe is an awakening. This is a masterful debut from the writer we need right now."―David Joy, author of When These Mountains Burn, and "This novel's stories and its people will echo throughout the memories of many of its readers for a long time."―Mary Whipple Reviews.

"For nearly half a century, Bill Cosby brought warmth and laughter into hearts across the country, cementing his image as “America’s Dad.” But he also led a dark, secret life preying on women. The comedian carefully coaxed each one into feeling safe and cared for, then left them to pick up the pieces of their lives. It all started with Andrea Constand. She carried the burden of being the only one of the 60-plus accusers whose case could be tried in a court of law. Now, she's telling her side of the story, along with firsthand accounts from more than a dozen survivors, jurors, and prosecutors. From the Los Angeles Times, and hosted by investigative reporter Nicki Weisensee Egan, "Chasing Cosby" is the definitive take of the rise and fall of Bill Cosby." ~Chasing Cosby, Podcast
