The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

OK... it’s a “chick-lit” book.  The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells tells the story of a stage producer, Siddalee Walker, as she is on the verge of marriage.  An interview of her childhood memories and life growing up with her “crazy” mother gets published and stirs up major family issues for mom.  But wait, there is the Ya-Ya sisterhood, moms friends who helped her through life are back at it again.  But once Siddalee gets her hands on her mom’s memory book, and now we hear (as the late great Paul Harvey said)... the rest of the story.  Shouldn’t we all have friends like the Ya-Yas? Go out there and find them, because the ups and downs of ViVi may have you shed a tear or two, if you have that level of emotional connection to these type of books.  Eat, Pray, Love, you got nothing on the Ya-Ya sisters.  In fact, maybe she should have had the Ya-Yas stop by and make that chick-lit book a bit more interesting.  I guess I’d say Nicholas Sparks or Jodi Piccoult’s work is an inch better.  Take a pass on the Ya-Yas…
