Synopsis

This memoir by Anne Heche is as personal as it gets, offering a peek inside the mind of the late Emmy-award winning actress, director, and author of the New York Times bestseller Call Me Crazy.

Call Me Anne is the sequel to Heche's first book, Call Me Crazy. It is a memoir consisting of personal anecdotes of her rise to fame: how Harrison Ford became her on-set mentor, her relationship with Ellen Degeneres, her encounter with Harvey Weinstein, her history of childhood sexual abuse, her relationship with God, her journey to love herself, and more. Part memoir and part self-acceptance workbook, Anne's personal stories are interwoven with poems, prompts, and exercises that got Anne through tough times. Listeners are encouraged to try them as they navigate their own journey to self-love, acceptance, forgiveness, and faith.

If you want to know who Anne is, what she experienced, what she believed in, and her hope for humanity, this book is it.
