Dorene is everyone's best friend.
Perhaps her skill at building friendships is because her life
is so real.
Early childhood trauma left Dorene with crippled self-esteem
that plagued her through her adolescence. She made bad
decisions that cost her her health and her future. She now lives
with crippling AIDS. Related surgeries took away her greatest
wish -- to have her own babies.

Look closely at Dorene's left shoulder.
Her little white bird, "Pookie" listens to all of
her troubles and makes them go away.
She knows how to live for today.
