The Ya-Ya Boxed Set by Rebecca Wells - Great book set

Little Altars Everywhere first introduces readers to Siddalee Walker, her mother Viviane, and Vivianes unforgettable pals, the Ya-Yas--as wild a bunch of born-and-bred steel magnolias as you will ever run across in literature. Set in Louisiana and narrated by various members of the Walker family, Little Altars tells the tragicomic tale of Siddalees magnificently dysfunctional clan. There is hard-drinking Viviane, who alternately adores her children and abuses them, and Daddy Big Shep, who is inarticulate, alcoholic, and cant quite say what he means and seldom means what he yells. Siddas siblings are a mess, the family servants are badly treated, and though Rebecca Wells includes many hilarious set pieces throughout, even the Ya-Yas cant completely overcome the dark core at the center of this novel.

Wells continues the saga of Sidda and Vivi Walker in her follow-up, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and this time the mood is considerably lightened as she takes her characters back in time via a collection of letters, clippings, and scrapbooks--the divine secrets of the title. Here a younger, more sympathetic Vivi shares the limelight with her Ya-Ya pals, Teensy, Caro, and Necie. From skinny-dipping in the town water tower to boozing it up at the spring cotillion, these Southern-fried hell-raisers prove what everyone has always suspected--that its so much fun being a bad girl! But you dont have to be bad to enjoy Rebecca Wellss take on family, friendship, and the ties that bind for a lifetime. --Margaret Prior

Great book set
I'm grateful to have the original and the sequel in one box set. Loved the original more than the sequel; however they are both great.
