The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll

Description:

Dare Wright was the author and photographer behind the iconic children's series *The Lonely Doll,* detailing the adventures of the Lonely Doll Edith and her friends, the Bears. Behind the camera, however, existed a hauntingly beautiful, enigmatic, eccentric woman of multiple talents and limitless imagination whose personal life resembled a tragic fairy tale. Separated from her beloved brother as a child, forced into isolation and instability by her possessive mother, losing her dashing fiance on the eve of their wedding, Dare turned to her childhood toys to create a miniature world of fearless princesses, compassionate dolls, and mischievous animals. But Dare's own happy ending would not be so simple.
