Her memoir One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel  (written with J. R. Briamonte) was published by Outskirts Press in 2008. It was re-published in 2019 by Graymalkin Media, including an eight-page photo insert from Hodel's personal collection. The book inspired I Am the Night, a 2018 six-episode limited television series starring Chris Pine and India Eisley, directed by Patty Jenkins.

Hodel spent much of the 2000s as a motivational speaker, talking about racial equality and human rights.

Fauna Hodel (August 1, 1951 – September 30, 2017) was an American author and motivational speaker, who wrote the true-crime memoir One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel, documenting her unusual beginnings and the connection to her grandfather, George Hodel, a prime suspect in the infamous Black Dahlia murder mystery.

Born August 1, 1951, in San Francisco, Hodel was the first child of 16-year-old Tamar Nais Hodel and the granddaughter of Los Angeles doctor and socialite George Hodel. Fauna's birth father was unknown, and the troubled Tamar gave up Fauna for adoption. Because her father was listed on her birth certificate as an "unknown Negro," Fauna ended up with an African-American family in Reno, Nevada. Told she was multiracial, Fauna was raised by Jimmie Lee Greenwade (later Faison) and given the name "Patricia Ann Greenwade". She spent her formative years not knowing her real name or parentage.

Fauna later learned her true origins, which revealed her connection to the controversial 1949 incest trial of George Hodel on accusations by Tamar as well as George Hodel's connection to the still-unsolved Black Dahlia case.
