"In 1963, Madalyn Murray O'Hair won the landmark lawsuit filed on behalf of her son, William, effectively banning prayer in public schools. Thrown headfirst into the nation's spotlight, Bill soon became a vital part of his mother's growing empire.
In his own words, Bill shares in vivid detail the tragedy of his upbringing as the son of America's most famous atheist - the raging family battles and turbulent adolescence, his increasing dependence on alcohol, and his years as a fugitive.
Nearly two decades after the Supreme Court decision that started it all, Bill Murray came to the end of his personal strength. In desperation he found himself calling out to a God he had been raised not to believe in. More importantly he found God answering."
