In the 70s, when sex and drugs were a way of life and Jesus Christ was a Superstar, Donna lived on a wing and a prayer.

Then in 1982, Donna's mother, Sylvia, “ran away from home" and married her eldest daughter’s boyfriend—leaving behind a trail of heartbreak and anger for the family she had abandoned.

Donna, the middle child, would spend most of her adult life trying to put the pieces of her broken family back together, all the while tracing her own adventurous and often dysfunctional journey. . . Growing up in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania; dancing through the discos of Key West, Florida; searching for ancestors and answers in Florence, Italy; and living through a firestorm in California Wine Country, Donna learns the importance of family, faith, and forgiveness.
