Regrets to Make up For: Saving Joel's Daughter at the Beginning

Wherever there are regrets to make up for, there is me. I don't have much to draw from, I just want my frustrated little mind to make up for it in the novel. I'll start with the finishing line first, and then I'll talk about the rest after finishing it. It's my first time writing a novel, and I'm just practicing my writing. If I don't know the world view or anything else, I'll just make it up. If you don't like it, don't criticize it. If you have any comments that you want to make up for later, just let me know in the comment area. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
