1st, I have spent much of my life on ships. The Lois reminds me of yhe best of them. It seems more like ship life than most books.
2nd, good things happen to people I like. In writing class, the instructor will tell you to heap trouble on your main character. It’s really nice to have good things happen once in a while and-turns out- its just as interesting.
I like these people and I want to keep hearing about them.
