	Movies - Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a 2002 film directed by Callie Khouri. It is based on the novel of the same name, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, written by Rebecca Wells.

Plot

Tagline: Mothers. Daughters. The never-ending story of good vs. evil.

Playwright Siddalee Walker is on the verge of releasing her newest play. She has an interview with Time Magazine in which she expresses some opinions of her unhappy childhood.

Her mother, Vivian Joan Abbott Walker, sees the article, and is extremely offended by it. She takes down all the pictures of Siddalee in her house, and indicates that she never wants to see her daughter again. She obstinately refuses to talk to Siddalee, even when Siddalee sends her a wedding invitation — though the date of the wedding is cut out.

Siddalee has difficulty understanding her mother's behavior until she is visited by three of her mother's friends: Teensy Melissa Whitman, Necie Rose Kelleher, and Caro Eliza Benett. The four ladies had created the 'Ya-Ya Sisterhood' in their youth as a token of their close friendship, and it had lasted through the years. They took her away from her fiancé, Connor McGill, and told her of her mother's troubled life.

Through the assistance of the three friends, Siddalee was brought to an understanding of her mother's behavior, and her mother was brought to a greater understanding of herself and her daughter.
