Brook Ashley tells Dare’s story as no one else can. She was Dare’s goddaughter, lifelong friend and guardian during Dare’s final years. Dare Wright And The Lonely Doll features more than four hundred of Dare’s own photographs and an array of other illustrations.

Brook was also a friend of Dare’s mother Edie, Dare’s brother Blaine and others in Dare’s circle in New York City. The circle included Broadway and film star Tallulah Bankhead, Brook’s second godmother. Donald Seawell, Brook’s father, was Dare’s confidant and protector from her early days in New York until the end of her life.

Dare Wright And The Lonely Doll reveals the true story of a complicated angel. She was an ethereal mixture of artistry and innocence.
