A little about the story
A canoeing story brings an emotional triangle into a setting where the characters have little distance from one another. The journey gives their relationships a physical setting.
Travel by canoe gives the characters a limited amount of space and a sequence of practical decisions. That closeness allows an ordinary gesture to carry extra weight when the people involved are already trying to understand each other.
