Also known as La Doll, Dolly is a famous PR consultant and celebrity in New York City. Dolly’s reputation is ruined after she organizes an event where a malfunction burns many of the party’s famous attendees, leaving them with awful scars. Dolly cannot find PR work after this, and worries about providing for her daughter Lulu, whom she struggles to connect with. Eventually, Dolly takes a high paying job trying to redeem the image of a genocidal dictator named the General. After this project, she moves out of the city and opens a gourmet shop. Though nobody recognizes her as a formerly famous person, Dolly is happier after the change.

Quotes
Entering Lulu's bedroom, Dolly felt like Dorothy waking up in Oz: everything was in color. A pink shade encircled the overhead lamp. Pink gauzy fabric hung from the ceiling. Pink winged princesses were stenciled onto the walls: Dolly had learned how to make the stencils in a jailhouse art class and had spent days decorating the room while Lulu was at school. Long strings of pink beads hung from the ceiling. When she was home, Lulu emerged from her room only to eat.
