Book Description:
An emotionally charged addition to Rebecca Wells' award-winning bestseller Little Altars Everywhere and the #1 New York Times bestseller Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Ya-Yas in Bloom reveals the roots of the Ya-Yas' friendship in the 1930s and roars with all the raw power of Vivi Abbott Walker's 1962 T-Bird through sixty years of marriage, children, and hair-raising family secrets.
When four-year-old Teensy Whitman prisses one time too many and stuffs a pecan up her nose, she sets off the chain of events that leads Vivi, Teensy, Caro, and Necie to become true sister-friends. Told in alternating voices, Ya-Yas in Bloom shows us the Ya-Yas in love and at war with convention, through crises of faith and hilarious lapses of parenting skills, brushes with alcoholism and glimpses of the dark reality of racial bigotry.

Wonderfully funny book about an extended family in Louisianna. 4 women who are childhood friends, support one another through thick and thin and their children and grandchildren have a great network to thrive in. Wonderful sequel to the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

Rebecca Wells is an exceptional author, she will have you laughing and crying throughout the entire book. An honest and insightful look at life in the fifties and sixties.

Katie S. from SONOMA, CA wrote on 4/28/2007...My least favorite of the Ya-Ya books. It's entertaining, but very scattered. It lacks a plot, really.
Liz F. from GLEN ARM, MD wrote on 4/13/2007...Fun read.
Lovely title. Helps round out the "Divine..." collection.
Susan C. from MEMPHIS, TN wrote on 2/13/2007...Sequel to Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and so much fun to read.
The third in the Ya-Yas series follows the friends through 60 years of life.
I loved this book. Couldn't put it down.
