The Yada Yadas got tight in the past year, but theyre about to learn the real meaning of togetherness.
Wed done it: wed taken a mismatched, diverse group of women and cobbled together a prayer group that really worked for all of us. Now that spring was here, we were celebrating our one-year anniversary--and a wedding, an early parole, and two baptisms in the lake! Everything was feeling pretty great.
But its when were in our comfort zone that were most likely to let our guard down. Without warning, lots of little things seemed to become big problems. With a white supremacy hate group targeting a local university, our very diversity almost became a liability. It took a vicious attack on Nonys husband to make us see that we had to get tough--and fight back together.
