WEDNESDAY, August 23rd at 7PM: Selections from DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA YA SISTERHOOD - Conclusion

The final selection from Rebecca Wells' 1997 hit novel about the complicated relationship between a
mother and daughter, the tangled beauty of imperfect love, and the fact that forgiveness, more than understanding, is often what the heart longs for.

Tonight we learn the secret behind Vivi "dropping her bucket"; how a vibrant, intelligent, energetic young woman became overwhelmed by life as a housewife, mother of four, with too much booze and dubious medical advice.  Vivianne Abbot Walker simply came unhinged, and the fallout affected everyone around her, and everyone she loved.

WEDNESDAY, August 2nd at 7pm: More DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA YA SISTERHOOD

We are the flames of the fires, the whirling of the winds. We are the waters of the rains and the rivers and the oceans. We are the rocks and the stones. And now by the power invested in me, I declare we are the mighty Ya-Ya priestesses. Let no man put us under. 

Now our blood flows through each other as it's done for all eternity. Loyal forever. We raise our voices in the words of Mumbo Gumbo... YA-YA!

WEDNESDAY, July 26th at 7pm: Selections from DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA YA SISTERHOOD

"It's life.  You don't figure it out.  You just climb up on the beast and ride."


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.
