VR Nana, Volume 1

Anna Ruth Joyce has been living a good life and has helped raise a good family; nothing uncommon for an Irish-Catholic grandmother. She hasn't felt the need to have a change of pace, until the day her entrepreneur grandson offers to let her try out FAILTE, a new virtual gaming world of his creation. As a young, strong-willed warrior avatar named Rita, Anna Ruth encounters two other female players and gets a hold of a powerful weapon. But these new experiences come with cues to her grandson's vast and somewhat warped imagination... and an unforeseen danger to the entire game.
