The members of the Oh-Lawd-Why-Am-I-Still-Single church
group have gathered to complain about the slim pickings in
their little town of Pelzer, South Carolina. They’re
determined to revamp their man-chasing tactics. And
newcomer Birdie Tweet, the only Caucasian member of the
group, may offer just the opportunity they’re looking for… At forty-two and nearly six feet tall, Birdie’s love life
has been as unpromising as the other women’s until a recent
phone call from a man she met two years before. Honey-
colored and debonair, Lyon Lipps is an irresistible Afro-
Latino hunk. Unbeknownst to Birdie, he’s also a con artist
who has seduced women of all ages, races, shapes, and
sizes. Now he’s found Jesus and wants to reconnect with
good Sister Tweet. But when Birdie passes around Lyon’s photo, which is
actually his mug shot, several in the group recognize him.
Even their sorriest wallflower, Sister Petunia, has been
blessed—and cursed—with his attentions. With each tale,
Birdie’s hopes for romance die, and her anger is
resurrected… The ladies devise a way to get payback from Lyon Lipps
while improving their chances of meeting men at the same
time. They’re going cruising aboard the aptly named ship,
Desperation of the Seas. And they’re planning to trick Lyon
into sailing along with them by making him the
lucky “winner” of a free ticket. Soon, they’re sailing the high seas, riding a wave of
bickering, betrayal, and unholy behavior, with plenty of
laughs—and a few genuine revelations—along the way…
