Nevertheless, Curtis and Ella take a trip to the fictitious town of Sun Coast, Florida to attend the funeral of Curtis' Uncle Robert. Unknown to Ella, this trip will plant them in Sun Coast longer than most people would delight. It is with this modest backdrop that Ella and Curtis begin a new life, in a new community, in a new church, and with new unfamiliar family members. As Ella's nightmare seems to never end she finds she has a new home, a new business, and a new set of people who need her motherly love.
