Rather than pursue her dream of becoming a criminal attorney, she chooses to follow the path of her father's side of the family. With that choice comes drug trafficking, murder, prison and a long road ahead of her that she never dreams imaginable. Years into her life in the drug world, she finds herself walking into a federal prison facility for probably the rest of her life. She encounters obstacles that take her to the brink of insanity...until three well known female attorneys, Charlotte B. Scott (her godmother), Lynanne Wescott and Anna Durbin and celebrity Martha Stewart (who is incarcerated with her at Alderson, WV) give her the one thing that she needs to come out of the nightmare that she is in. They give her hope. "What Little Girls Are Made Of" is a riveting story of crime, drugs, murder, prison and a young woman's desire to survive....Kimberly's story... Kimberly's life.
