The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Wells, Rebecca. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. New York: HarperCollins Publishers, Inc., 1996. The title of this book seems to be self-explanatory for the meaning of the story. However, I am unable to think of an adequate title to use in the original's stead that has some less obvious meaning to the story line. The one the author has already picked is by far the best that could be used. The main conflict in The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is the one between Siddalee Walker and her mother, Vivian Leigh-Walker. The conflict stems from way back into Sidda's childhood that carried on into her adult life, such as her mother's alcoholism and rough treatment to her children that brought Sidda to seek therapy. But at this point it was neatly hidden in memory and the past. However, due to an exaggeration by an interviewer, who wrote an article that has Vivian raging at her daughter, this conflict rises up into the present, forcing them both to take a good look at the problem and struggle to understand each other to finally produce a solution. This is reached when Sidda finally comes into knowledge of her mother's troubles and they reconcile.
