Eldonna Edwards sa zameriava na príbehy o komunite – o miestach, kde žijeme, rodinách, do ktorých sa narodíme, a kmeňoch, ku ktorým inklinujeme. Jej diela sa odohrávajú v známych prostrediach s rozpoznateľnými postavami z našich každodenných životov. Prostredníctvom týchto postáv skúma základné otázky zmyslu života a účelu existencie, ako aj vzájomné dôsledky našich životných rozhodnutí. Autorka s citom pre humor vyvažuje zložité a niekedy temnejšie aspekty náročných situácií.
