the GAME by Teresa Toten Dani Webster had played the Game with her sister, Kelly, for as long as she could remember. They had been on a quest to vanquish evil. But the Game is now a hazy memory as Dani lifts her head from the floor of the isolation room at Riverwood Clinic, a psychiatric treatment facility for "teens with problems." As Dani recovers from the physical trauma of substance abuse, she must confront a deeper emotional trauma which, at the moment, she can neither explain nor recognize. With the support of her new friends at the clinic, Dani develops the courage to face her family's deep dysfunction and terrible secret---and to eliminate the Game from her life forever.
