Jerral Bonnita (Williams) Goudy was born in 1952. She is a native of Greenwood, South Carolina where she and her family continues to reside. Jerral is the fourth child from the union of Reverend Rogers & Mrs. Mae Etta Williams (deceased).

                Neet (as she is affectionately called) says, “The Spirit Within Me tells how God took an everyday person, like me, and imputed His spirit into my heart and mind. His spirit has enabled me to write. However, writing this book was not an initial dream of mine. I knew, nonetheless, that God had placed His Word in my heart. For a long time, I pushed aside recording my inspirations. Yet I still concluded that one day I will write down what God had inspired in me.”
