‘Uplifting, uproarious, saucy and smart, the Ya-Ya sisterhood sequel lives up to the highest expectations.’ Booklist
Product Description
An emotionally charged addition to Rebecca Wells’ bestselling and much loved previous novels, Ya-Yas in Bloom reveals the roots of the Ya-Yas' friendship in the 1930s and roars through sixty years of marriage, child-raising, and hair-raising family secrets…
When four year old Teensy Whitman stuffs a pecan up her nose, she sets off the chain of events that lead Teensy, Caro, Vivi and Necie to become true sister-friends. Told in alternating voices of Vivi and the Petite Ya-Yas, Siddalee and Baylor Walker, as well as other denizens of Thornton, Louisiana, Ya-Yas in Bloom shows is 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, the Ya-Ya values of unconditional loyalty, high style and Cajun sass shine through.
But in the Ya-Yas' inimitable way, these four remarkable women also teach their children about the Mysteries: the wonder of snow in the Deep South, the possibility that humans are made of stars, and the belief that miracles do happen. And they need a miracle when old grudges and wounded psyches lead to a heartbreaking crime – and the dynamic web of sisterhood is the only safety net strong enough to endure.

I loved the chapter on "Beatle mania" & cannot wait for another Ya Ya book.
You get so involved with the wonderful Characters.
I held longingly onto every single word as it moved from Teensy `pecan up her nose' Whitman to riding elephants and sanctimonious nuns, and then effortlessly to Beatle mania- this is such a warm, homely comforting book with an array of little storylines that just tie together beautifully and I am just desperate for Rebecca Wells to write another Ya-Ya story. In my opinion, little Baylor Abbot was the true star in this novel and he deserves a book of his own. Highly recommended that you read this, only make sure you read `Divine Secrets' first- you won't regret it and will undoubtedly find yourself calling everyone `dah-ling' for weeks to come!
