Overview

Dolores knows how to stay quiet-at school, at home, in a crowd. But when a new boy shows up, something starts to shift. And then, just as suddenly, everything breaks. In the aftermath of a violent attack, Dolores finds herself unraveling - and rebuilding - in strange, quiet ways. Dolly is a coming-of-age story about trauma, silence, and the slow, defiant act of becoming visible again. Some girls survive by vanishing. Others learn to take up space. Content Note: This story contains themes of sexual trauma, emotional abuse, grief, self-harm, and psychological distress. Reader discretion advised.

Author Information

B. B. Calais writes stories that bleed - tales of love, obsession, and the sharp edge where everything unravels. Her characters don't always make the best choices, but they feel everything, even when it tears them apart. Born in Moldova and raised in Southern California, B. B. Calais grew up absorbing languages like a sponge. She's fluent in Russian and English, once spoke Romanian like a local, and can still pull meaning from French, Spanish, and even a stubborn streak of German when the mood strikes. Her writing lives where language and raw instinct collide. She lives with her husband, son, and a rotating cast of backyard creatures who've clearly seen one too many apocalyptic movies. She believes in dead poets, found families, and the healing power of a well-timed breakdown.
