DORRIE WILLIAMS-WHEELER
The daring and controversial new book by an exciting new author.
Sparkledoll Always Into Something is the story of how Lori Baldwin overcame her rebellious teenage years to go to college-only to discover that college can be a wild and crazy place. Lori chronicles her experiences with love, friendship and the college experience.
Once Lori hits college, she focuses on all of the action outside of the classroom-partying, mischief and trying to save her self destructive friends. Lori also doesn't have much luck on the dating scene and she details her experiences with one loser boyfriend after another.
In the end the real question becomes, will Lori Baldwin ever graduate from college? Or will her life just continue to be one big party filled with unbelievable drama and wild antics.
Lori details her many escapades with candid detail and leaves readers wanting more. You will too, once you read her story
FROM THE PUBLISHER
This is the revised version released in September 2002.
FROM THE AUTHOR
Sparkledoll Always Into Something is an inspirational story of a young girl who overcomes some of the angst and bad behavior of her early teen years and heads to college. Prior to attending college, Lori often found herself in trouble with the law or playing dangerous games with boys. She easily could have become a inner city of Chicago statistic, gang member or high school drop out, but she decides that she wants more for herself.
After obtaining financial aid, Lori heads to Southern Illinois University, a college in a small town 300 miles from the hustle and bustle of Chicago. At college, Lori makes some mistakes and has to deal with some very grown up situations with friends and relationships. What I want readers to get from this book is that we all learn and grow, and we often have to go through a lot of the bumps and the heartache of our late teens and early twenties to become successful, productive adults.
READER REVIEWS FROM AMAZON.COM
Definite Page Turner
I could not stop reading this book. I was about to start another book first when I received Sparkledoll and read the first page-I was hooked. This book is chock full of drama. The main character Lori must have 9 lives and then some. It's unbelievable the stuff she gets herself into. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be totally engrossed in a story that forever has you on the edge of your seat.

Lives Up To The Hype
had been hearing a lot about this "Sparkledoll" book. I read the book in one day. I was so captivated. I am a college student and the author re-creates the college scene-outside of the classroom, very well. She deals with some tough issues such as teen pregnancy, gangs, friendship and the ups and downs of relationships in a realistic fashion. It's not a preachy book. It's fun, and not to sound sappy, but it is a book that may make you laugh and cry. I had never heard of this author before reading this book, but I do hope that she writes more in the future.
