| It is a story about mothers, daughters, women, and men. Mother Lenora Nixon-Caldwell has four daughters that remain single. She is trying her best to get them married off before they become old maids. Three of them seem eager to find husbands, but one of them has no interest in finding a husband. Rev. Abel Darden, IV comes to Redeemed for Service Baptist Church to run a two-week revival. Mother Caldwell sees the chance to get one of her daughters married. Mother Caldwell meets opposition in the form of her husband, who just happens to be the pastor of Redeemed for Service. He wants her to leave her daughters and the preacher alone. He just doesn’t see to understand how important it is to get the girls married off. More opposition comes her way when Annabel Stolkes decides to try to catch the evangelist for her granddaughter. The Nixon girls, Sebrina, LaShawnda, Cornelia, and Victoria have been trying for success for the past year to get their mother to leave them alone about getting married. She insists on parading them around in front of every single Christian man that they meet. Three of the girls, Sebrina, LaShawnda, and Victoria happily go along with their mother, knowing that if they go along with her, she won’t give them a hard time. But Cornelia, she refuses to go along with any of her mother’s plans and tricks. Cornelia firmly believes that her mother is the reason that they aren’t married now. The girls’ have a faulty reputation because of their mother’s pushiness. She hopes to one day get her mother to see that. Rev. Darden has been invited to preach at the Redeemed for Service Baptist Church. He is excited because Redeemed is one of the most progressive Baptist churches in the area. He has heard some crazy things about the first lady of the church, but he puts that all out of his mind and focuses on the task at hand, hearing a Word from the Lord for the members of Redeemed for Service Baptist Church. Rev. Darden quickly finds out that what he has been hearing about the first lady of Redeemed is true when Mother Caldwell latches on to him. It ain’t easy being that single preacher.
