The 1970s may seem like a distant era, with Nixon, bell-bottoms, and disco, but the struggles my protagonist faces—how to navigate a rapidly changing society—mirror the challenges we face now. Thaddeus, much like many of us, is trying to protect his values, his way of life, and his community from what feels like a whirlwind of change. Sound familiar?

In today’s world, social, political, and cultural shifts seem to come at us at breakneck speed. From debates about free speech to evolving norms around identity, we’re living in a time of tension and transformation. Thaddeus grapples with his faith and identity, torn between tradition and modernity. And while his story is set in a small 1970s town, the emotions and choices he faces echo loudly in our time.

Maybe that’s why Thaddeus Lamb resonates with so many readers—because, deep down, we’re all trying to find our footing in a fast-changing world. What do you think? How are you navigating the changes around you?
