Sister, Sinner

Book • 2025
Claire Hoffman's meticulously researched biography chronicles the spellbinding life of Aimee Semple McPherson, America's most famous woman evangelist.

The book examines her 1926 disappearance (initially thought to be a drowning, later claimed as a kidnapping) and the sensational trial that followed, while analyzing her role in shaping modern evangelicalism.

Drawing on previously sealed court records and Foursquare Church archives, Hoffman presents a secular examination of McPherson's contradictions as faith healer, showman, and media pioneer.
