The back of the book
When Siddalee Walker, eldest daughter of Vivi Abbott Walker (Ya-Ya extraordinaire - part Scarlett, part Katherine Hepburn, part Tallulah) is interviewed about a hit play she has directed, her mother is described as a 'tap-dancing child abuser'. Enraged, Vivi disowns Sidda - devastating her daughter who postpones her wedding and puts her life on hold until she is granted forgiveness. Trying to repair the relationship, the Ya-yas, Vivi's intrepid tribe of Louisiana girlfriends, sashay in and insist Sidda is sent 'The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood', a scrapbook of their lives together from a day in 1932 when they were disqualified from a Shirley Temple lookalike contest for unladylike behavior. Expected to raise babies, not Cain, the Ya-Yas are bonded for life in an unforgettable exploration of the complexity of mother-daughter relationships and the power of female friendship.
