Multicultural African-American | Inspirational
In her latest, most soulful and side-splitting send-up of
church life yet, Pat G'Orge-Walker's hilarious cast of
parishioners battle their worst vices, the funny and serious
sides of aging, and each other... Mother Sasha Pray Onn and Mother Bea Blister live on the
edge--of Christianity, that is, and they're about to knock
Sister Betty off her sanctified perch. As the senior citizen
matrons of the Ain't Nobody Saved but Us-All Others Goin' to
Hell church, their devotion to the Lord must compete with
their secret passions for gambling and grudges against each
other. But their long-held animosity is about to be
complicated when the new pastor, the Reverend Leotis Tom,
wants to reorganize the Mothers Board in time for the
upcoming Las Vegas Conference and asks a reluctant Sister
Betty to run for President. After a scuffle at a secret Bingo game at the No Hope
Now-Mercy Nevah church, the bumbling Reverend Bling Moe
Bling pacifies Mothers Blister and Pray Onn by giving them
two tickets to Las Vegas where the annual Mothers Board
Conference will be held. In Vegas, Mother Blister befriends
a destitute young woman named Zipporah who does something no
one has ever been able to: touch Mother Blister's heart. But
in trying to help her, Mother Blister finds out Zipporah's
past might be at complete odds with Mother Blister's
present. As the chaos and comedy get out of hand, so do the
questions about who is who, who did what to whom, and where
and when. Just as surprising are the answers, which show
that despite everyone's best--or worst--intentions, from
cradle to grave, it's God who is ultimately in charge.
