Prodigal Daughters

"In this book, seventeen women of the Baby Boom generation tell their poignant personal stories of apostasy and repentance. Each left the Catholic Church to seek autonomy and fulfillment on the major cultural battlegrounds of this era: in feminism, sexual revolution, chemical abuse, academic skepticism, the arts and New Age spiritualism.

Each eventually turned homeward to find, like her prodigal brother in the best-loved of Christ's parables, that her Heavenly Father had been calling her throughout her absence, watching and yearning for her return."--BOOK JACKET.
