Title: A revelation about my mother's life
Product review: I resisted reading "Divine Secrets" for several months even though it was recommended by a friend whose opinion I respect. I thought the title was silly (still do) and I didn't like the cover (still don't). But -- the book itself really grew on me and the most important thing about it was that it made me re-examine how I thought about my own mother, who, by the way, is nothing like any of the Ya-Yas. It is so hard to access someone else's experiences and memories; the book helped me to understand some things about my own mother just because she grew up in the same era as the Ya Yas, and for that I am thankful. It also made me wonder--why do we so often seem to have unresolved conflicts with our parents?
