'No female in the Nolan family shall ever marry!' Sisters Cheyenne, Brianne and Roxanne grew up listening to family members whisper about the generations-old curse. No one knew who made the curse, or why. To the sisters, it was nothing more than an old-wives tale! Each sister has found her soul mate and is looking forward to a life of love happily ever after. Unfortunately, the path to happiness is littered with roadblocks. The relationships are suddenly tested, as each couple is faced with a situation that threatens to crumble what they thought was a strong love bond. The sisters find themselves making war, not love with their mates. Will love win out, or would the most damning, oft-forgotten part of the curse, 'It will not last' win out after all?

Vivienne Nolan, lovingly referred to by family and friends as Mama Vee, is a God conduit. Whenever prayer is needed, call Mama Vee, and she calls on the Lord. Always understanding, nonjudgmental, and comforting, she offers loving support to all who need it. When a distinguished gentleman enters her life and proposes marriage, the family's God connection is threatened. Saying yes means a move from Oak Park to Phoenix-from all she loves and all who love her. Saying no means putting everyone else's happiness before her own. With great reluctance and much love, her children encourage a resounding yes. As Mama Vee settles into her new home with a loving, handsome husband, the need for big-time prayer comes in threes. An unsavory con artist and rapist escapes from Joliet State Prison, a drug dealer / ex-con sets up one last score that could kill his wife and daughter, and an almost-aborted baby is born with little chance for life. The three are interlaced and suddenly thrust directly into the lives of the Nolan clan. The outcomes promise to be deadly. Do they call Mama Vee or get down on their knees?
