"In a haunting memoir, the best-selling author ofInterview with a Vampire presents an intensely personal journey of faith that records her New Orleans Catholic childhood; loss of faith and involvement with secular humanism; the alienation and tragedy that marked her life; and her eventual return, after thirty-eight years as an atheist, to New Orleans and a belief in Christ. 200,000 first printing." - Random House, Inc.
An intimate memoir of Anne Riceâs Catholic girlhood, her unmaking as a devout believer, and her return to the Church â what she calls a decision of the heart.
Moving from her New Orleans childhood in the 1940s and â50s, with all its religious devotions, through how she slowly lost her belief in God, Called Out of Darkness also recounts Anneâs years in radical Berkeley, where she wrote Interview with the Vampire (a lament for her lost faith) and where she came to admire the principles of secular humanists. She writes about loss and alienation (her motherâs drinking, the deaths of her young daughter and later, her husband); about the birth of her son, Christopher; and about how, after 38 years as an atheist, she once again came to believe in Christ. Anne Rice makes a spiritual confession that is a celebration: a brilliant, subtle exploration of the journey through life that allows one to answer the call out of darkness.
