In this episode of Tidy Tidbits, Tidy Dad welcomes bestselling authors Jo Piazza and Christine Pride to discuss their new novel, I Never Knew You at All, a thought-provoking story about secrets, betrayal, family relationships, forgiveness, and the consequences of uncovering the past.
Together, they explore why we keep secrets, whether protecting someone can justify withholding the truth, and how decisions made decades ago can shape families for generations. Jo and Christine also share a behind-the-scenes look at their collaborative writing process, the inspiration behind the novel, and why they intentionally leave readers with complicated questions rather than easy answers.
Plus, with the holidays approaching, they tackle an important question: Is Thanksgiving dinner really the best time to reveal a family secret?
It’s a conversation about morality, marriage, parenting, forgiveness, and the messy business of being human, with plenty of laughs along the way.
