Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Teensy, Caro, and Necie fly into Seattle and then drive out to Sidda’s cabin, surprising her. Sidda is surrounded by love, good food, and laughter. The Ya-Yas give Sidda a stack of letters from when her mother went to a psychiatric hospital, including some letters from Sidda to Vivi, and some letters of thanks from Vivi to her best friends for supporting her family while she was away. Sidda finds it deeply painful to read the letters from her childhood self to Vivi, many of which simply beg Vivi to come home and apologize for anything Sidda may have done wrong that drove her away. There is also an angry letter she wrote, and then another letter of apology.

Vivi sent each of the Ya-Yas a letter of thanks for watching her children, for teaching her how to remain strong through difficult times, and for being her guiding light from afar. In the letter to Teensy, Vivi admitted that she often found it difficult to look at her children, but when they were sleeping, they were the most precious things in the world to her. Sidda approaches the Ya-Yas in tears, hoping to hear about what happened to her mother.
