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:
“Indeed, my mother’s beautiful face still shone with youthfulness that night when she so softly held my hands and sought to stop my tears; but, precisely, it seemed to me that this should not have happened, her anger would have saddened me less than this new sweetness that my childhood had never known; it seemed to me that, with a hidden and impious hand, I had just traced the first wrinkle and made appear the first grey hair in her soul.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“What sacred instinct did inspire
My soul in childhood with a hope so strong?”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“Pleasing illusion: “if my childhood had been the Paradise it should have been, all would now be well.””
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
