This is one of the best books I have ever read on defining friendships. I have a close knit group of friends- there are 4 of us- and after we read the book we started calling ourselves The Yaya's. Even other people have started refering to us as The Yaya's. This is how much this book effected our lives. We all can relate to each character (we even have matching bracelets with our Yaya names on them) and find bits of ourselves in all of them. We are taking a trip together (our 2nd annual Yaya Getaway) and we will be starting off our trip by listening to this book on cassette. We are anxiously waiting for Ms. Wells next book. She is an amazing talent with a unique insight into the souls, hearts and minds of women.

I have to agree with others in that Little Altars Everywhere plays an enormous part to the Devine Secrets. Both books were compelling and moving as well as delightfully comical. Little Altars Everywhere gives a background on The Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood that is detailed and you see how The Devine Secrets is indeed about Sidda but more in the eyes of the Ya Yas. You learn to love each character...and hate them as well. Although I probably enjoyed The Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood a trace more then Little Altars Everywhere, one can not be read without the other.

i am rather torn. i liked the summary for divine secrets- sort of. it's not all about sidda. it's about 4 best pal's growing. not up, just growing. you never mentioned "little altars everywhere", the book before yaya. "little altars" sheds so much light upon vivi, & everyone else.'spring creek" has become my fave spot to go to, in my head, when i can't sleep. i hope ms. wells writes more about the yayas. once one reads "divine secrets" one never sees the world the same. it is yaya, or yaya no!

Can't believe I'm doing this, but I think Highland, Michigan could use a group of Yaya's or at least their divine secrets. Only if you would be interested in a Yayas group meeting, please reply...depending on the response, I will try to set up a time and place...
