Taken By Surprise!

Well, Sweet Georgia Brown was really thrown for a loop when her husband of 11 years’ illegitimate, ghetto-sassy daughter shows up at their grand luxurious home at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.  Even more surprising was the teen's ghetto-fabulous mother with bling-bling in her eyes as she dropped off Marvelous Marvin’s daughter and headed for the child-support court. Georgia Brown, a housewife who supported her husband as he pursued his dreams, now must take one more kick to her emotional injuries.  She does it with class and purpose.  She takes this teen right into her heart with such finesse, you scream for her to pack her bags and run with the kids!  See, Georgia is terribly verbally abused by her now super-radio-jock husband, Marvelous Marvin.  He’s reached his dreams and forgot all about Georgia's sweat equity.

The essence of Georgia Brown is not the lavish shopping sprees she can now afford, nor is not the fancy car changes every six months.  It is not even the magnificent kitchen complete with gourmet cooking classes that keep her busy as a mother, step-mother, maid, and former size 8 wife.  It is her commitment to family and her vows.  This is demonstrated in her compassion for her homeless brother and patience with her verb-splitting step-daughter.  Most of all, it is demonstrated in her tolerance of a no good, disrespectful, lying, and cheating husband.  Radio personality Marvelous Marvin is in for a real war of the roses when Georgia is suddenly offered a prime morning radio show of her own.  Will she blast him off the air?  Georgia believes in Karma.  I believe in thou shall reap what thou soweth -— uh, oh, Marvin!

SWEET GEORGIA BROWN will keep you laughing and cheering for Georgia.  It will evoke some teary eyes, but more than anything else, SWEET GEORGIA BROWN will win your heart and soul.
