Synopsis
A devastating fire wakes the Yada Yada Prayer Group up to a new reality. Where the first five books stayed with the original circle, this one widens the scope: the Yada Yadas expand and blend with new groups, and the new mix brings new problems with it.
The women face racism, HIV and other health crises, and the messy lives of criminals and juvenile delinquents. Jodi and Denny set the example by reaching out to young people at a nearby juvenile detention centre, on the understanding that faith means going beyond the safe group and out to the people outside it.
Sixth in Neta Jackson's Yada Yada Prayer Group series of Chicago-set Christian women's fiction.
