Synopsis
SiddaLee Walker, at 39, is a creative theatrical director. She prides herself on having escaped her Louisiana hometown and her mother, Vivi Abbot Walker, a local beauty and performer who, in a recent "New York Times" article, is called a "tap-dancing child abuser." A fight over this article erupts between Sidda and Vivi, just when Sidda needs her mother's help with a play she's writing about women's friendships. Eventually, Vivi sends her daughter letters, photos, journals, and souvenirs form the Ya-Ya sisterhood. This group of girlfriends was wild and clever, and stuck in a small town where they were expected to raise babies, not Cain.

Publisher's Note

When Siddalee Walker, oldest daughter of Vivi Abbott Walker, Ya-Ya extraordinaire, is interviewed in the New York Times about a hit play she's directed, her mother gets described as a "tap-dancing child abuser." Enraged, Vivi disowns Sidda. Devastated, Sidda begs forgiveness, and postpones her upcoming wedding. All looks bleak until the Ya-Yas step in and convince Vivi to send Sidda a scrapbook of their girlhood mementos, called "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." As Sidda struggles to analyze her mother, she comes face to face with the tangled beauty of imperfect love, and the fact that forgiveness, more than understanding, is often what the heart longs for.

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood may call to mind Prince of Tides in its unearthing of family darkness; in its unforgettable heroines and irrepressible humor and female loyalty, it echoes Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.



Industry reviews
"What an exciting new voice...just wonderful."
Advertisement - Pat Conroy 

"This is the sweet and sad and goofy monkey-dance of life, as performed by a bevy of unforgettable Southern belles in a verdant garden of moonlit prose. Poignantly coo-coo the Ya-Yas (and petite Ya-Yas) will prance priss, ponder and party their way into your sincere affection."

LDC Designs prefers PayPal as payment. PayPal is the most secure, reliable, and efficient way to protect both buyers and sellers, and is a requirement for all international bidders. Items paid via PayPal instant payment are usually shipped next business day, and always within two business days of receipt of payment, except for postal holidays. echecks ship after payment is cleared. Payment is expected within five days of end of auction or a non-paying bidder claim will be opened to recoup seller fees. If other arrangements are needed, please communicate with the seller for authorization in advance.  LDC Designs collects a 7.4% sales tax on shipments within Colorado, as required by law.




LDC Designs Book Division utilizes calculated shipping by weight, and offers generous  discounts on combined purchases within five days of the first closed auction. To qualify for these combined shipping discounts, the bidder must wait until all auctions and "Buy it Now" choices are closed before proceeding through Auctiva checkout. There is a nominal handling fee, which is required to offset expenses of shipping materials, as boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and other assorted shipping ephemera does not come free.  You pay only one handling fee, no matter how many items are purchased, hence your "savvy shopper" discount is $1.60 off each additional purchase. While all care is taken to ensure your package arrives safely, there is optional shipping insurance available, through Auctiva checkout.  

This insurance is also available for international Priority Mail shipments to most countries. International shipping tends to be cost prohibitive, for the most part, and while I wish it could be otherwise, the amount shown in your respective shipping calculator is the only option available.




The books offered at auction are usually pre-owned books, and display some signs of usual wear. They are sold in "as is" though perfectly readable condition, as described and photographed. I am an independent bookseller operating on several internet venues, and as a rule, badly tattered books rarely make it into my inventory in the first place, and if there are exceptions to my normally high standards, of "very good" then this will be noted in the description. The seller is unable to guarantee that a bidder will enjoy the content of a book purchased, though I do provide a synopsis or reviews of titles from independent sources, when available, to assist bidders in expanding their horizons of potential new favorites. If you like what you see...please bid early. Returns are not accepted unless the seller has overlooked some glaring flaw, and made an unintentional misrepresentation of the auction item. Feel free to contact the seller for additional information on any item or policy before bidding.
