The adventures of the Gumbeaux Sistahs continues! Five, fiery southern women - Judith, Bea, Helen, Dawn, and Lola - wage wars against their unique problems using their improbable friendships, hilarious evil-genius schemes, strategy sessions with oh-so-many cocktails, and a shared passion for good gumbo. Single, Southern artist, Judith Lafferty, casually confesses to her Gumbeaux Sistahs that she is occasionally lonely and would like to fall in love again. Seriously - you'dthink she would know to keep her mouth shut around these women by now! The sistahs tackle her problem along with their own with their usual unreasonable, extreme plots and schemes, including a kidnapping, a cupid costume, trying out pick-up lines at the cheese counter, and blind dates from hell. In helping out their friend, the sistahs help each other out as well and bring to light the many flavors of love in all of our lives. Be ready for twists, turns, laugh-out-loud times, and heart-wrenching moments. You'll be sure to recognize yourself and your close friends in the unstoppable sistahs.

Oh my gravy! What's next? One sistah is arrested, one is widowed, another is threatened by a younger woman, yet another is dealing with an attempted kidnapping. And that is just the start of the sistahs' woes. You never know when life will hit you upside the head! But if there is one thing this group of unstoppable women is good at, it is getting together for amazing gumbo and brainstorming the most outrageous solutions only to discover the magic of life again and again.

Tales of the Friendship Bench: They're almost afraid to look and see who's going to show up next! It seemed like such a great idea to build a Friendship Bench in front of the Gumbeaux Sistahs Gallery. It offered a safe place and a friendly ear to visitors so they could talk about their lives with one sistah or another. The problem was - you never knew who was going to be on that bench! When a thief, a pushy matriarch, a struggling artist, a potential suicide, and an undiagnosed patient visit the bench, the sistahs feel over their heads, and it sends them running for help. But never underestimate strong friendships - or a Gumbeaux Sistah!
