| In Sweet Meadow, Georgia, Bertie Byrd and Arch Fortney celebrate their marriage with friends and family. However, before they can sneak away on their honeymoon (accompanied by his preadolescent daughter, Petey), her best friend, matron of honor Mary Lou Jarvis, goes into labor. Bertie and Mary Lou’s husband, Rex, take her to Shafer County Hospital, where the alien comes out of nine months of hiding.
Since Mary Lou and the kid are okay, Bertie, Arch, and Petey begin the honeymoon in an RV, starting at a nearby amusement park. As Bertie struggles with the dual tasks of wife and mother, she comes home to her business, Bertie’s Garage and Towing, to find the Redneck Mafia harassing Linc, her tow truck driver, which leads to rumors that Linc made a hole in one with her on the local golf course.
This is an amusing slice of southern living, starring a confused heroine trying to do what is right for her and for others, though her efforts often lead to conflict between the general good and her personal good. Fans will root for Bertie, who at times wants to say bye-bye to the pressure of her business, marriage, and parenting. This sequel to the humorous Big Hair and Flying Cows is a jocular look at small town Georgia. | | |
