Owen and Marsha tried to retire and have normal jobs.

Jean-Louise -- because everyone loves being named after Jr. High summer reading; she was just grateful she wasn't Skeeter after Aunt Mary -- made it through all of this, and worked on her abilities with her dad when they manifested -- she wasn't leaving home to go to school. She made herself a solemn vow, 'some real Scarlett O'Hara type stuff: she'd find a way to make sure her parents had real, steady support, never have to take a loan from Aunt Mary and Uncle Carl, never have to worry about how they were going to pay the bills. She studied hard, but college.... college was too much, would take too long just to get through and pay off. So she went to work right away. She started out by having Daddy do the hyperspace trick and bringing her to a reasonably safe planet with a lot of lemons, sugar, and pitchers of water. Jean-Louise sold fresh-squeezed earth lemonade for the kind of equivalent barter Americans would have given for caviar. This was the best she knew how to do. Once she had enough, she traded for more things, eventually getting her own tiny ship and slowly teaching herself to fly it. She still visits her parents often, because she gets lonely.

Jean-Louise had just had a lucrative couple of days on the homeworld of the Badoon Sisterhood. Such rare spacefarers were an excellent market for 'exotic' staples. Now she was back on the road. Space. Whatever.
When suddenly the ship stalled.
She rustled around in the back of the tiny cargo transport. The trouble was, in order to fix it, she had to figure out what was wrong first. She hated that. She could make all the new wires in the world, but if she didn't know where they <i>went</i>.....
