Three years ago in Chicago, several women got together to form the Yada Yada Prayer Group. A diverse membership, they come together obviously in prayer, but also try to be there for one another when a crisis occurs; as happened in New Orleans when Katrina struck sending refuges as far away as Chicago. Now the members feel they have come full circle as the son of one of them is marrying the daughter of another. Barring health, all plan to attend even two women coming home from overseas.
The seventh and apparently final Yada Yada Prayer Group tale brings the tale fully around as the next generation begins forging permanent adult relationships. Fans of the series will have mixed feelings like melancholy that the series is ending, but readers also feel good to remember how far the members have come especially learning to forgive transgressions that does not just hurt, they etch into the soul.
