The Yada Yada Prayer Group seems invincible—until tension and distrust shake its very foundation.
Jodi Baxter is slowly recuperating from a horrific car accident, but before she’s fully recovered, other problems arise within the Yada Yada Prayer Group—big problems. The turmoil starts when a heroin-addicted woman charges into a prayer meeting with a knife and isn’t afraid to use it.
Things really take a turn for the worse when grim accusations are made against Jodi’s husband. Racial division, pain, and pride are tearing this close-knit group of women apart, and Jodi isn’t sure if she and her spiritual sisters will be able to survive the mess.
The Yada Yadas are forced to get down to the nitty-gritty in their relationships and in their prayers. But is forgiveness possible—not just of their closest friends . . . but also of their enemies?

" Read in 24 hours! "
— Mary, 2/17/2014" Excellent character development "
— Carol, 2/10/2014" Neta Jackson does a great job of pushing you outside your cultural box while reading these books and makes you examine what you think you know about yourself. It's interesting how you know how to 'fix' the situation while you're reading it, but if you were actually in it, your response would be so different! "

— Brenda, 3/18/2012" I can't say I like the main character or even agree with her most of the time, but kudos to Neta Jackson for bringing up tough issues like racism, and what does forgiveness matter if you can't ever make it right. "
— Kathy, 2/12/2012" I love authors that try to make Christian characters both "Christian" and relatable so I have to give this book credit for trying to do that. However, the problems were hard to relate to and I found the main character a little childish. Wasn't really into it. "
