Role Playing by Cathy Yardley Maggie is an unapologetically grumpy forty-eight-year-old hermit. But when her college-aged son makes her a deal - he'll be more social if she does the same - she can't refuse. She joins a new online gaming guild led by a friendly healer named Otter. So that nobody gets the wrong idea, she calls herself Bogwitch. Otter is Aiden, a fifty-year-old optimist using the guild as an emotional outlet from his family drama, caring for his aging mother while his brother plays house with Aiden's ex-fiancée. - adapted from the back cover
