		Rebecca Wells novel is full of Southern flavor and dialect, and the power of an unstoppable group of crazy, wild, zestful women, the YaYas.
		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.
		For Rebecca Wells is intent on telling the whole story: the bad, the sad, the shocking, as well about the successes, the joys and a lot of giggles at the funnier side of human nature.

	Ya-Ya spirit blooms in ailing author Wells
		The challenge of writing "Ya-Yas in Bloom" was just one part of Wells' terrifying descent into debilitating illness that began seven years ago, just as she was adjusting to the heady overnight fame wrought by her first two novels, which prompted women all over to form "Ya-Ya" clubs to share books and do good works.
		While insisting that the Ya-Ya books are not autobiographical, Wells says she bases many of her characters on the memorable women and men she knew as a girl growing up in a heavily Roman Catholic area of central Louisiana.
		Wells, who does not want the location of her home made public, lives on the Kitsap Peninsula with her husband in a hillside home with sweeping views of the water.

	Review Articles: March 1986
		Wells himself was dimly aware that the way he related to women generally and to Moura in particular had something important to do with the way he related to himself--to his own emotional needs and capabilities.
		For Wells, Moura seems to have been a fragment of ancient myth come to life--an avatar of the large-bodied goddesses who haunted his adolescent wet-dreams (EA 2:5:56), a Medusa whose steady gaze paralyzed him so that he could neither move away nor move towards her.
		Wells was very much influenced by this polarized, patriarchal view of gender and personality, of course; but he also intuitively rebelled against it, as he did against all the authoritarian constructs which he consciously admired so much.
