Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession -- Anne Rice

<b>The first memoir from the #1 <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>Interview with a Vampire</i>--a<b> very affecting story of a well-known prodigal's return ... [a] vivid, engaging tale of the journey of a soul into light" (<i>Chicago Sun-Times).</i><br></b></b><br>Anne Rice was raised in New Orleans as the devout child in a deeply religious Irish Catholic family. Here, she describes how, as she grew up, she lost her belief in God, but not her desire for a meaningful life. She used her novels--beginning with <i>Interview with a Vampire</i>--to wrestle with otherworldly themes while in her own life, she experienced both loss (the death of her daughter and, later, her beloved husband, Stan Rice) and joys (the birth of her son, Christopher). And she writes about how, finally, after years of questioning, she experienced the intense conversion and re-embracing of her faith that lie behind her most recent novels about the life of Christ.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Rice<br><b>Publisher:</b> Anchor Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/09/2010<br><b>Pages:</b> 256<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.94h x 5.34w x 0.73d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780307388483<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Anne Rice is the author of twenty-nine books.
