Dollbaby: a Novel
“She’d stayed awake all night, thinking about him. There was so much she never knew about him, so much he’d never told her. She remembered the way he had looked at the photo of Fannie the day it fell out of his wallet at the school fair, as if he wanted to say something to her but couldn’t. She hadn’t understood the pain in his eyes then, but she did now. He had wanted to tell his mother that he loved her, just as she wished she could tell her father at this very moment how much she loved him.
... As she closed the door to his room, she knew it was too late to help her father, but maybe it wasn’t too late to help Fannie. Somehow.

“Not much,” Ibby said.
“Doll, she say she up all night, too, listening to that tiger down at the zoo.”MoreLess
