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. Theyβre determined to revamp their man-chasing tactics. And newcomer Birdie Tweet, the only Caucasian member of the group, may offer just the opportunity theyβre looking forβ¦ At forty-two and nearly six feet tall, Birdieβs love life has been as unpromising as the other womenβs 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, heβs also a con artist who has seduced women of all ages, races, shapes, and sizes. Now heβs found Jesus and wants to reconnect with good Sister Tweet. But when Birdie passes around Lyonβs photo, which is actually his mug shot, several in the group recognize him. Even their sorriest wallflower, Sister Petunia, has been blessedβand cursedβwith his attentions. With each tale, Birdieβs hopes for romance die, and her anger is resurrectedβ¦ The ladies devise a way to get payback from Lyon Lipps while improving their chances of meeting men at the same time. Theyβre going cruising aboard the aptly named ship, Desperation of the Seas. And theyβre planning to trick Lyon into sailing along with them by making him the lucky βwinnerβ of a free ticket. Soon, theyβre sailing the high seas, riding a wave of bickering, betrayal, and unholy behavior, with plenty of laughsβand a few genuine revelationsβalong the wayβ¦
