Often saying yes to God requires experiencing heartbreaking trials and performing unexpected tasks. Such was the case with Charlotte Morley who is in the fictional town of Turtle Island, South Carolina visiting her grandparents. A chain of events begin one Sunday afternoon starting with the pastor being ran from the church, a cousin running off with the pastor and the cousin's twin just plain running off. While waiting to learn the whereabouts of her twin cousins, Charlotte finds herself working for the Lord with and amongst a chicken thief, her grandmother's acid-tongue friend, a millionaire cousin, a funeral lover and her cynical best friend, just to name a few. A few tragedies, feuds and triumphs later, Charlotte and et al. are just about to relax when she finds out that all is not as it seems. Sista got up, swung back her black veil, went over to Nellie and whispered, 'Nellie, I don't want to get loud in here, but make no mistake, I will if I have to. If you don't get yo' rump up, there will be two funerals in here today. You ain't even kin to us." -Excerpt from One Day, The Turtle Snapped
