Joseph is torn between his desire to pursue his dreams and the pressure he feels from his family to conform to their expectations.The novel is set in the 1950s in a small town in upstate New York. Joseph's family is Italian-American and deeply rooted in their traditional values. Joseph's father, a successful businessman, wants his son to follow in his footsteps and take over the family business. However, Joseph has other plans. He wants to become a writer, but his family doesn't understand or support his aspirations.Against This Rock explores themes of identity, family, and the pursuit of the American Dream.
