This book is a journey. Rice describes, in great detail, what it was like to grow up in pre-Vatican II New Orleans, the daughter of very devout parents. She paints a picture that I felt I could see, in color, of life in that era. Then, just at about the time I was ready to throw the book away (library book or not, I had had ENOUGH already), she changes gear and leaves the Church.
Ah! Now we’re at the part I care about!
She describes her experience as atheist-warming-to-Christianity in a way that made me nod and remember, all too well, the truths she describes.
My full review is over at my blog.

This is a fascinating look at the spiritual journey of a gifted writer. Anne Rice describes her Catholic childhood in detail

I love hearing others stories and journeys. I found her voice is to be incredibly powerful.

Had to quit this one halfway through. Could have benefited from some serious editing.

I've always enjoyed Anne Rice's writing, and I was really interested in hearing about her spiritual journey as well. While the read was quick and enjoyable, it left something to be desired and didn't really seem to offer any special insight into Rice's life.
