Sidda Walker’s relationship with her mother Vivi has reached a painful distance, and the accounts she carries of her childhood offer only part of the family’s story. The friendships of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, a group whose connection stretches back through years of shared experience in Louisiana, provide another way of understanding the woman behind Sidda’s memories. As letters, recollections, and personal histories come together, old hurts meet perspectives that challenge what Sidda believes she knows. Rebecca Wells combines humor, Southern atmosphere, and emotional conflict in a novel about mothers, daughters, and the sustaining force of friendship. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood follows the difficult work of understanding another person without pretending that love has made every wound disappear.
