About Our Founder & The HolyGhost HomeGirls LLC Dr Antionette D. Brookins, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD in Christian Psychology is. About Holy Ghost Girl. Donna Johnson’s remarkable story of being raised under the biggest gospel tent in the world, by David Terrell, one of the most famous evangelical ministers of the 1960s and 70s. Holy Ghost Girl is a compassionate, humorous exploration of faith, betrayal, and coming of age on the sawdust trail.
