Bertie
Byrd Fortney never thought she’d be spending her wedding
night in a maternity ward. But her best friend went into
labor right in the middle of the conga line at Bertie and
Arch’s wedding reception, and it wasn’t until
her friend’s son made his entrance into the world
that Bertie, her husband, and her stepdaughter could leave
on their motor home honeymoon. The trip’s trials,
however, leave Bertie wondering if a honeymoon is some kind
of test a woman must pass before becoming a wife.
To add to
her tribulations, Bertie returns to Bertie’s
Garage and Towing to find Linc, her tow truck driver, is being
threatened by the Redneck Mafia. The mob boss has told Linc
to return to Atlanta to marry his daughter, or he will move
him there himself … one body part at a time.
And then Bertie
is taken hostage by a man who has taught his goats to bark
and his twins to talk. A mistake on both
counts, in Bertie’s not-so-humble opinion.
Finally, a bizarre accident involving an elderly drunken
citizen Linc mistakes as a hit man, a golf cart, a trip to
the hospital, and a positive pregnancy test has tongues wagging
in Sweet Meadow, Georgia. Did Bertie really get knocked up
on a golf cart by her tow truck driver?
Will Bertie be able to douse the rumors? Will she be able
to save her faithful employee from the mob? More importantly,
will she pass the wife test?
