Dolls of Our Lives: Why We Can't Quit American Girl
by Mary Mahoney and Allison Horrocks - Nonfiction, Popular Culture

Which American Girl are you? Are you a Molly (a patriotic overachiever with a flair for drama)? Felicity (the original horse girl)? Kirsten (a cottagecore fan who seems immune to cholera), Samantha (a savior complex in a sailor suit), or Josefina (who dealt with grief by befriending a baby goat)? Have you ever wondered how Britney Spears or Michelle Kwan would answer that question? And why do we care so much which girl we are? Combining history, travelogue and memoir, DOLLS OF OUR LIVES follows Mary Mahoney and Allison Horrocks on an unforgettable journey to the past as they delve into the origins of this iconic brand. Continuing the conversations that began on their podcast, they set out to answer the lingering questions that keep them up at night.
