BTW,
Is there a reason to give the protagonist the name “Toivo” or do you just like the sound of it? It is a Finnish man’s name, with literal meaning: “Hope”. Not so popular now, but it was popular at the time there was a wave of Finnish immigration to America.

Yes, I picked it because it was a Finnish name that I liked! I also specifically picked it because of it’s meaning, and I was familiar with it. I grew up in a largely Finnish-American community so it’s a familiar name to me, and it’s just one that I liked.
