Book Description:
When Siddalee Walker, oldest daughter of Vivi Abbott Walker, Ya-Ya extraordinaire, is interviewed in the New York Times about a hit play she's directed, her mother gets described as a "tap-dancing child abuser." Enraged, Vivi disowns Sidda. Devastated, Sidda begs forgiveness, and postpones her upcoming wedding. All looks bleak until the Ya-Yas step in and convince Vivi to send Sidda a scrapbook of their girlhood mementos, called "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." As Sidda struggles to analyze her mother, she comes face to face with the tangled beauty of imperfect love, and the fact that forgiveness, more than understanding, is often what the heart longs for.
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood may call to mind Prince of Tides in its unearthing of family darkness; in its unforgettable heroines and irrepressible humor and female loyalty, it echoes Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

Reading the book made the movie easier to understand for me. The book really is much better than the movie. So, if you liked the movie, I think you'll like the book.

A thoroughly enjoyable romp through the lives of 4 lifelong girlfriends Who conspire to help one of their number during her time of crisis. Worth reading twice if you are a southerner.

It took me awhile to get into this book, but once I did I found myself really caring about the characters. There is some real humour in this books, and some very touching moments as well.

I have not read this...The print was too small for these old eyes to read.
One of my favorite books! I have read and re-read this book several times, the movie just does not do it justice!
A very entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving novel about the complex bonds between a mother and a daughter. This novel has been made into a movie by Warner Bros Pictures starring Ashley Judd, James Garner and others.
A look at the lives of four friends through childhood, marriage, and motherhood.
