Summary, etc |
In a storefront church in Harlem, Sister Julia, a "fire-baptied" child evangelist called to the ministry when she was nine, is mesmerizing her audience and glorying in the thunder of adoration. But she seems considerably less "redeemed" out of the pulpit. Spoiled by her parents, she tyrannizes the singers in the Trumpets of Zion quartet and, aftter her mother's death, is aboused by her father and becomes trapped in a terrifying relationship with him, a relationship that eventually leads to the renunciation of her "Holy Spirit" in a sermon preached more for herself than for the congregation -- that is as moving as it is exhilaratingly funny. |
