about Doll Babies . . .

Following in the literary footsteps of Jacqueline Susann, Mary McCarthy and Grace Metalious, writers who knew how to weave a tale of relationship, L. Wilder (nom de plume) writes a story so captivating, you won't be able to put her book down.

Doll Babies focuses on four life-long friends who enter adulthood as the fabulous fifties become the turbulent sixties, when all the rules of their mid-western upbringing suddenly come into question. Meet Taryn Welles, the beautiful and successful journalist. Strong and independent, Taryn fearlessly travels the globe as a foreign correspondent. But her personal life is a shambles as she finds herself looking for love in all the wrong places.

Samantha "Sam" Powers ostensibly has it all. A stunning career as the doyenne of gossip, a powerful, wealthy husband, the perfect gorgeous daughter, Sam, like so many of her generation, has to learn that no one can have it all without paying a painful price.

Lauren Grey married her high school sweetheart. She thinks she is happy until she awakens one morning to discover that the world has passed her by. Too frightened to do anything about it, holding on to the values of her mid-western upbringing, she clings to her marriage and her husband Logan, the man she says she was born to love.

The fourth friend of the group is Logan Grey, Lauren's hunk of an Academy Award-winning husband, the man every women in the world desires. Discovered as a young film student, Logan's meteoric acting career is the stuff Sam Powers loves to write about. To the world, Logan appears blessed by the gods. But he harbors the DNA of self-destruction and is tortured by a most personal secret. Logan will lose it all before he can reconcile his past with the present, but what he discovers on his journey no one can imagine.
