Summary
What does a teenager in 1968 have to teach us about the choices we're facing right now? In this episode, we sit down with author Paul James Hatke to unpack his debut novel Moving the Tassels — a gripping story set against Vietnam, political unrest, and the weight of decisions that can't be undone. This isn't just historical fiction; it's a mirror held up to the moment we're living in. Grab your copy on Amazon or Barnes & Noble and decide for yourself which side of the tassel you're on.
