Synopsis

A robbery, a lynching, and a mourning mother shake up the Yada Yadas.

I had never felt so violated! The Yada Yada Prayer Group was "gettin' down" with God in prayer and praise one night when a heroin-crazed woman barged into my house, demanded our valuables, and threatened us with a 10-inch knife--a knife that drew blood.

We wondered if we'd ever get back to normal after this terrifying experience. I assumed we would. After all, we'd started praying together at the Chicago Women's Conference last spring,and we'd been through a lot already as spiritual sisters. This was just one more hurdle to conquer, right?

But then a well-meaning gesture suddenly incited a backlash of anger in the group, forcing us to confront generations of racial division, pain, and distrust--and stretching our friendship to the limit. And a shocking confrontation in my third-grade classroom forced me to face my own accountability and learn what true forgiveness really is.

From AudioFile:

The culturally diverse women who met at a Christian women's conference in Chicago in THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP continue to grow their faith and friendship. Jodi is still recovering from the accident that ended the first book. A robbery during a Yada Yada meeting and Adele's withdrawal from the group add more opportunity for grace to do its thing. The talented Barbara Rosenblat brings the book to life with flair and palpable enthusiasm for the characters. Each unique voice reinforces the ethnic diversity of the group. Jodi's narration clarifies references to events in the first book, so even if you're new to the Yada Yadas, you won't feel lost.
