Confessions is the heartrending account of a woman who was born into a Catholic family and fully embraced the beliefs of her faith, but ran into major roadblocks in college. Amidst the radical feminist college environment of the 1960s, she lost her faith and jumped aboard the tempting bandwagon of "free love". Attaining a doctorate in philosophy with an emphasis on feminism, Murray taught philosophy in college. For many years, she launched a personal vendetta against God in the classroom, mocking the values Christians held dear and touting feminism as the cure for many social ills.
