I had another book picked, but the author turned out to be crazy. So let’s go with Elizabeth Moon’s Trading in Danger, which is the first book in her Bujoldian(?) science fiction series Vatta’s War. Go ahead and guess what it’s about! …Yup. Family, responsibility, and having to be the one who the universe apparently assigned the job of cleaning up all of this nonsense. Oh, and there’s a war going on.
Like I said: ‘Bujoldian.’
