Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells. With all the new previews of the movie I decided that I should read the book and then go see the movie. I enjoyed every page of it. When Siddalee Walker gives a less than flattering view of her mother in the New York Times article her mother disowns her and Siddalee goes into a depression. She cancels her engagement and retreats to a friend's cabin outside of Seattle. The Ya-Ya's (childhood friends of her mother) convience Vivi ( Siddalee's mother) to send a scrapbook about the Ya-Ya's. This brings more questions than answers are we go back and forth in time reliving these memories. Reminiscent of Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flagg, this will keep you reading until the end.
