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
#1 New York Times Bestseller *The secret of this divine audio is the reading by author Rebecca Wells . . . . [She] gives each fabulous character the authentic, Louisiana-laced voice she deserves.* - Book Page Mary McCarthy, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of others have portrayed the power and value of female friendships, but no one has done it with more grace, charm, talent, and power than Rebecca Wells does in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.? - Richmond Times Dispatch When theatre director Siddalee Walker inadvertently reveals some of the less-savory facts of her Southern childhood to the New York Times, the article brands her mother, Vivi, a ?tap-dancing child abuser.? When Vivi virtually disowns Sidda, Sidda panics and postpones her upcoming wedding. But Vivi's intrepid gang of lifelong girlfriends, the Ya-Yas, sashay in and conspire to bring everyone back together. The Ya-Yas, an inseparable and indomitable foursome who grew up together in the small town of Thornton, Louisiana, persuade Vivi to send Sidda a scrapbook of girlhood mementos entitled ?Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. With the scrapbook in hand, Sidda retreats to a cabin on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, intent on discovering the key to the swirling mix of anger and tenderness she feels toward her mother. Through a series of flashbacks from Sidda's current crisis to Vivi's youth and early motherhood, the ?Divine Secrets? will reveal themselves to you through Rebecca Wells's vibrant, irresistible voice - and it is that irresistible voice (literally) that reads the audiobook. It's an incisive look at the tangled relationship between mother and daughter, with its countless emotional shiftings from dark to light, love to resentment, bonding to breaking free. Wells unveils it as a bond that is as sacred as it is unfathomable. And, through it all, the Ya-Ya's loyalty and outrageous, untamable spirit come to signify the everlasting endurance and vitality, girl-power of communions forged among women throughout their lives. Soon to be a major motion picture, and already a national bestselling book, The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood has garnered a phenomenal popularity, reflected in the ever-expanding Ya-Ya Societies springing up in all corners of the country as ever more women find a resonant echo of their own need for spiritual growth and love in Wells' vivid characters.
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." Advertisement - Tom Robbins
