Prodigal Daughters by Donna Steichen

Prodigal Daughters helps us to see with open eyes the great mercy that God has for all his people, the hope we must have for all sinners, for those who have fallen away from the Church and for those who rebel against it.

Like the Prodigal Son in the Bible who was welcomed home from his sinful life, so has God the Father welcomed home these women and embraced them as His lost sheep.  So too for many others. Each one shows how even while looking elsewhere for God and for meaning in New Age occultism, Christianity without the sacraments, the arts, nature, personal achievement, etc, God still kept seeking them and speaking to their hearts. They tell of their confusion, doubt and misunderstanding of the Church but how they felt empty, alone and had no sense of direction while they were away from it. Each explains how and why they were misguided and then how they were led back to belief in God and the Catholic Church. All the stories are relative to eachother and to society as we know it. This is invaluable reading for the world we live in today.
