An intimate memoir of Anne Rices Catholic girlhood, her unmaking as a devout believer, and her return to the Church what she calls a decision of the heart.Moving from her New Orleans childhood in the 1940s and 50s, with all its religious devotions, through how she slowly lost her belief in God, Called Out of Darkness also recounts Annes 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 mothers 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.
