Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Hey y'all.

I'm at a busy point in my Summer (the post-vacation, catch up on school, prepare for heavy-duty work) point.  But I know that is no excuse to stop reading.

So here is what I am currently reading. 

And let me tell you, I'm pretty excited about it.

I love these feel-good, "southern" novels with charming female protagonists.  (Think The Secret Life of Bees/Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt).

So... without further ado... here is the plot synopsis for...

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells

When Vivi, Teensy, Necie, and Caro were younger, they created the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. The Ya-Yas caused shenanigans and chaos everywhere, but also had a sisterly bond that could fix anything. Now, at 70 years old, the Ya-Yas are determined to fix the struggling relationship between mother and daughter.
Siddalee "Sidda" Walker, a play director, has never had a smooth relationship with her mother, Vivi; but when a New York Times reporter twists Siddalee's words around in an article about her recent play, Vivi and Sidda's mother-daughter relationship goes spiraling down. Not only is Sidda having trouble with her mother, but she is also having trouble with her fiancé, Conner. Once the Ya-Yas hear of this, they give Sidda a sedative and sneak her away to their cabin, with the Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood scrapbook. The entire time, Vivi is unaware, and the only way Sidda can go back to her fiancee is to "knock the chip off her shoulder" and read the scrapbook to better understand her mother.

If you're looking for me between the hours of 7-10AM the next few days, you may find me on my porch swing, sipping some tea, eating "hummingbird cake" while reading this novel. (who am I kidding?  I don't even have a porch.  Let alone do I wake up before 9AM on my days off.)  But still, I'll be reading.

All my loving,
SGH
