FOR THE TAKING

De: Silver Cartwright

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

At just 7 years old, Donnalee Martin’s low-life gangster father abandons her with a so-called "uncle," who subjects her to years of brutal abuse. She runs away at 12 and survives two years on her own, until she meets a caring social worker who convinces her to take a DNA test. Hoping to track down her father for child support money, what the DNA test reveals instead turns Donnalee’s life upside down.


'FOR THE TAKING' is the remarkable story of rising sci-fi author Donnalee Vodka's life (Don Vodka), and takes the reader on an adventure that stretches across the entire country. Sometimes heart-wrenching and sad, and at other times light and uplifting. Defying the odds, Donnalee survived and managed to fill her seventeen years with Forrest Gump-like twists and turns along the way. From the desert of Nevada, to a circus life in Toledo, to Hollywood and Beverly Hills, across the ocean to Hawaii, and finally back to the mainland—was she running from a nightmare, or chasing a dream? To know the complete answer to that question, we need to go back to the 1970s, when events were set in motion that would shape her future.
