Holy Ghost Girl: A Memoir
by Donna M. Johnson - Nonfiction

She was three years old when her mother signed on as the organist for tent revivalist David Terrell, and before long, Donna Johnson was part of the hugely popular evangelical preacher's inner circle. A homecoming like no other, HOLY GHOST GIRL brings to life miracles, exorcisms and face-offs with the Ku Klux Klan. And that's just what went on under the tent.
