Childhood
Anne Graham Lotz is the second of the five children born to Billy and Ruth Graham. She was born, Anne Morrow Graham, in 1948 in Montreat, North Carolina. The Graham Family had settled near Ruth’s parents in Montreat in what remains today as the Graham Family Home, Little Piney Cove.
Ruth was often the single parent for months at a time to the five Graham children. Of her upbringing, Anne Graham Lotz says, “ was away almost full time. I was raised pretty much by single parents and grandparents, and then I didn’t know any different.”
Anne Graham Lotz accepted Jesus Christ as her savior at the age of about eight years old after watching King of Kings, a Cecil B. DeMille film.

Famous quotes containing the word childhood:
“Sadism is not an infectious disease that strikes a person all of a sudden. It has a long prehistory in childhood and always originates in the desperate fantasies of a child who is searching for a way out of a hopeless situation.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
“If a child were kept in a place where he never saw any other but black and white till he were a man, he would have no more ideas of scarlet or green, than he that from his childhood never tasted an oyster, or a pineapple, has of those particular relishes.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
““O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
