If you like drama, this is the right book. The Yada Yada sisters have their fair share.

Chanda FINALLY wins the lottery.
Avis gets married.
Jodi realizes she's perfect the way she is.
Yo-Yo gets baptized.
Stu stops trying to run from herself.
Flo's daughter comes to accept Flo as her mommy.

Hoshi, Flo, Jodi, Stu and the others ask the parole board to grant early parole to the very woman that attacked them less than a year before. And when they are told she has no hope of that parole because she has no home to be sent to for house arrest, Stu opens her home and heart to Becky Wallace. Since she lives in the apartment above Jodi and her family that means Stu's new housemate becomes Jodi's new neighbor too!

Jodi finally comes to realize that she MUST speak to the mother of the young man she accidentally killed when she had the car accident. She gets her chance. She expresses her sorrow and regrets for her part in the accident. And to her surprise, the mother responds by telling her that her son played a role in it too. They come to a peace with each other.

At Yo-Yo's baptism Becky makes a decision that surprises everyone and she asks to be baptized as well and with the help of some Yada Yada sisters Pastor Clark baptizes her. This quickly becomes a group "re-baptism" as many of the sisters "dunk" themselves in the lake and release the things holding them back and rededicate their lives to God.

With such a heartfelt, powerful ending, this book has left me salivating for the next one!!!!
