By: Rebecca Wells

Narrated by: Judith Ivey

“A big, blowzy romp through the rainbow eccentricities of three generations of crazy bayou debutantes.”
—Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“A very entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving novel about the complex bonds between mother and daughter.”
—Washington Post

“Mary McCarthy, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of others have portrayed the power and value of female friendships, but no one has done it with more grace, charm, talent, and power than Rebecca Wells.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch

The incomparable #1 New York Times bestseller—a book that reigned at the top of the list for an remarkable sixty-eight weeks—Rebecca Wells’s Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a classic of Southern women’s fiction to be read and reread over and over again. A poignant, funny, outrageous, and wise novel about a lifetime friendship between four Southern women, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood brilliantly explores the bonds of female friendship, the often-rocky relationship between mothers and daughters, and the healing power of humor and love, in a story as fresh and uplifting as when it was first published a decade and a half ago. If you haven’t yet met the Ya-Yas, what are you waiting for?

Love the book and the movie!

Love the book and the movie. After having seen the movie numerous time, I kept hearing the characters as the actors and actresses from the movie.

Divine Story

As stated in the title, Divine story told and beautifully narrated. Loved it from beginning to end!

Ten stars!!

Laughed & cried & had a southern drawl with a Cajun twist by the time I finished listening to all the Sisters lol! Great performance!

Description of scenes, feelings, life and living

I’m never one for “in-depth” sex scene descriptions, and this one just tripped a bit across my comfort level, but overall not grimacing so. I like the reality of life’s hurts and wounds mixed with the joy, healing, disregard of self wants that demonstrates true friendship and sisterhood.

Mother and Daughters Don’t Have to Know Everything

This book is such a wonderful read. It can be slow in some parts, but it resonated so much in my heart and made me feel so seen in certain points.
