The Author Roundup: A Memoir of Love and Double Lives with Tony Beadle

January 12, 2026 • The Book Connection • Season 13 • Episode 5

What happens when a lifetime of secrets finally meets the light of day? We're joined by author Tony Beadle to discuss his life as the secret son of a high-profile Boston priest.

In this episode, Tony discusses his memoir and the complex repertoire of lies his mother maintained to keep his existence a secret from their own relatives. We explore the emotional fallout of finally meeting his extended family twenty-five years later and the decidedly different reactions he received.
