Patricia is known in her community as “the doll woman,” and is often bullied when people do not know her story. She suffered brain damage as a baby and has lived with a caretaker all of her life. At 12, she was raped by her father and became pregnant. She gave her son up for adoption and has never met him. Now 45, Patricia cares for her doll, Michael, among others as if they were real babies as a way to cope with trauma and the loss of her son.
