Diane Wilson: Holy Roller November 7, 2008

In this prequel to author Diane Wilson's first memoir, 'An Unreasonable Woman,' the author tells the sometimes hilarious and sometimes astonishing story of her childhood in rural Texas among "holy rollers" - evangelical Christians with a penchant for tent revivals and handling poisonous snakes. With such unforgettable characters as Brother Dynamite (an ex-con who dearly loves the word of God) and Wilson herself, 'Holy Roller' is one of the funniest, freshest and most shocking memoirs in recent memory.
