Author Anne Rice has entertained millions of readers with her bestsellers, the "Vampire Chronicles." In her 2005 book, "Christ the Lord," Rice departed from her past to take her readers into the world of 7-year-old Jesus to shed new light on Christ's life.

This book, personally signed by the author, is a reflection of her return, in 1998, to the faith of her childhood. Raised a Catholic in 1940s and 1950s New Orleans, she left the church at age 18, beckoned by an adult world where faith seemed unnecessary.

Her books have sold nearly 100 million copies, making her one of the most widely read authors in modern history.
