In ten riveting, emotionally complex stories, The Game We Play examines the decisions we make when our choices are few and courage is costly: a young couple faces disease and commitment with the same sharp fear, a teenager steals from his girlfriend's mother's purse to help pay for her abortion, and a father makes a split-second decision that puts his child's life at risk. Susan will be reading at The Bug Jar along with James Tad Adcox, another Curbside author.
