"Deliver Us From Mama" by Jones, Hope, & Wooten is a rip-roaring, hilarious, high-octane race to beat the stork! The story begins when Walker Sprunt’s wife, Hayley, goes into labor with their first child. The problem? She’s in Alabama, and he is in L.A., trying his best to get through a surprise visit from his meddling mother and his bossy big sister, Savannah, when he gets the call. Unfortunately, an air traffic controllers’ strike has just begun across the nation and Walker is at a loss for what to do. But his Mama, as usual, is not. And when she proclaims, “Family Road Trip!,” Walker, from experience, knows disaster can’t be far behind.
As the clock ticks, Mama and her squabbling offspring jump in a car and sprint across two thousand miles of America and through its most unbelievably eccentric and colorful communities, and comedic chaos follows them everywhere. Despite experiencing zany alien encounters near Roswell, New Mexico, witnessing an uproarious last-minute wedding, and participating unwillingly in a high-speed police chase across Texas, this exuberantly desperate trio drive on, determined to make it to Alabama before the new baby is born. And heaven help anyone who gets in Mama’s way, because she WILL be in Birmingham in time for the birth of her first grandchild!
With outrageous mishaps, eccentric characters, and a whole lot of Southern charm, "Deliver Us From Mama" is a heartwarming comedy about family, love, and survival on the open road.
