For fans of the Ya-Yas and newcomers alike, this new installment about the beloved Sisterhood is vibrant and humor-filled. An emotionally charged addition to the award-winning works of Rebecca Wells, it explores the roots of the Ya-Yas' friendship in the 1930s, capturing the essence of Vivi Abbott Walker's spirited journey through marriage, parenting, and family secrets. The story begins with a mischievous act by four-year-old Teensy Whitman, which sparks the bond between Vivi, Teensy, Caro, and Necie, establishing them as true sister-friends. Told through the alternating perspectives of Vivi, the Petite Ya-Yas, Siddalee and Baylor Walker, and other characters from Thornton, Louisiana, it portrays the Ya-Yas navigating love, conflict, and societal norms. Amid personal crises, struggles with addiction, and confronting racial issues, the values of loyalty, style, and Cajun spirit shine through. Necie's mantra, "Just think pretty pink and blue thoughts," adds a whimsical touch. The narrative also imparts lessons about life's wonders and the belief in miracles, especially when faced with a heartbreaking crime that tests their sisterhood. With its rich Louisiana dialect, this continuation of the Ya-Ya saga celebrates the enduring power of women's friendship and the joy of embracing life together.
