“I’m an avid writer and journalist. I'm also a child & adult domestic violence survivor which inspired my memoir "How Wonder Woman Became a Smuggler", a story of intense adventures driven by true events.

I wrote the memoir to show I can do for others what I had the courage to do for myself; write a family legacy. I gave all my secrets away” – Edie Little

You like it when a lady outlaws wins? When a survivor turns the tables on an abuser? Then this is a story you’ll love. 

Anyone who had a troubled childhood involving incest should read this book.

A broken child . . .

A scarred woman . . .

A wounded mother . . .

The book opens with the heroine as a child at age six who believes she is Wonder Woman. She witnesses the rape of her sister by her father. And as children do, she blames herself for her helplessness.

The narrative fearlessly and proactively blends biography and psychology to expose fresh truths about generational dysfunction.

The 60,000-word novel spans several genres including True Crime, Family Sagas, Coming of Age, Domestic Violence, and Family Dysfunction.

 It reads like a reporter’s account of the era of ma & pa marijuana smugglers of the 70s & 80s.
