    : A Writer's Journey Home

    (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday)

    Mark Richard has been busy writing for film and television. For his first book in over a decade, he provides a decidedly unconventional autobiography. It's a spiritual journey through some of the most unusual underworlds the soul can encounter. Mark was a "special" child, and his detours into the mischievous and downright vicious on his path toward redemption make for very entertaining and shocking reading.

    Read an excerpt from House of Prayer No. 2.
