Sorcerer\'s Apprentice opens with Amy Wallace\'s first meeting with Carlos Castaneda, the infamous anthropologist-turned-shaman, whose books described meetings with Yaqui Indian spiritual teacher don Juan.
She lives in Los Angeles, California..
Her solo works include the highly acclaimed erotic novel, Desire, and the best-selling biography The Prodigy: The Life of William James Sidis.
About the Author: Amy Wallace has published twelve books, including The Psychic Healing Book with Bill Henkin, and with her family co-authored the #1 New York Times bestselling Book of Lists series, which sold millions of copies world-wide.
Wallace\'s story is both specific and universal, a captivating cautionary tale about the dangers of giving up one\'s power to a tyrant-and about surviving assaults on body and spirit.
Sorcerer\'s Apprentice unblinkingly reveals the inner workings of the "Cult of Carlos," run by a charismatic authoritarian in his sixties who controlled his young female followers through emotional abuse, mind games, bizarre rituals, dubious teachings, and sexual excess.
Little did she know that a delightful first meeting would begin a 20-year friendship, followed by her descent into the dramatic and deeply troubled affair chronicled in this book.
When her father insisted she meet Castaneda, she at first demurred.
As the daughter of best-selling novelist Irving Wallace, Amy was rarely shy around famous people.
Castaneda\'s rise was meteoric in the late 1960s as he wrote massive bestsellers, inspired many to experiment with psychedelics, and was dubbed "the Godfather of the New Age." The possibility that Castaneda\'s experiences may have been fabricated did little to compromise his legend.
