Quest to Valadin

Can a game unlock bravery?

Social anxiety and childhood isolation drew Alanna to a career in the library, where she could live vicariously through the book characters neatly organized on the shelves and ignore her feelings of loneliness.  Books don't judge or see how defective she feels.

Joining Quest Therapy at the suggestion of her therapist feels like a huge mistake.  Pretending to be someone else in a room full of strangers that have issues of their own seems futile.  But as they learn to work as a team in the quest, Alanna begins to see the possibility that letting others into her real life might not be such a fantasy after all.

For those readers that hide behind the pages of stories, but long for adventures of their own, this is the book for you.  May you discover that bravery requires first being scared, then doing it anyway.
