How/Why I Got Her: Lea was my thirteenth American Girl doll. On January 1st, 2016 the day she came out, I went to the Columbus American Girl store and picked her out myself. It was the first time I'd ever been to a Girl of the Year debut and it was amazing! I love Lea's story and she's my favorite Girl of the Year yet.
