In 1957, The Lonely Doll made model/actress turned author/photographer Dare Wright famous. The children's book told the story of Edith, a lonely doll until two teddy bears—a father and son—come to live with her.

Nearly forty years later, writer Jean Nathan decided to find out whatever happened to the author of favorite book as a child. What she discovered was a tragic and disturbing tale of family secrets, a mother/daughter relationship like no other, and a creative life gone to waste. Haunting.
