| For the Yada prayer sisters, gettin' caught up in troubles isn't the problem; it's how to get free.Ruth and Ben are caught up in an unplanned pregnancy-in their fifties! Chanda is deluded by the glitter of her lottery dream come true. Florida wants to move her family, hoping to leave trouble behind, but it looks like it may catch up with her anyway. Avis is torn between honoring her new husband and helping her abused adult daughter, who keeps running home to Mama.If there's an upside, it's that all this trouble reveals the subtle lies the Yadas believe about God, themselves, each other, and life. |

The members of the Yada Yada Prayer Group find themselves learning what true forgiveness is. |

| They thought they had a handle on forgiveness, but it seems God has them on a crash-course to an even deeper level. All the Yadas want is some peace and quiet, but that isn't what God has in store for them. Jodi has a new upstairs neighbor who is "Ms. Perfect," and Delores Enriques' son wants to throw Amanda a quinceanera-a coming-out party, Mexican style. And to everyone's shock, the lady who held them up at knife-point, who is locked up in jail, is back in their faces, which has the Yadas wondering how far forgiveness is supposed to go. |

| A devastating fire wakes up the Yadas to a new reality: God is on the move. In spite of MaDear's failing health. In spite of the breakup of a teenage love. In spite of the curse of HIV. In spite of prison time hanging over the head of a beloved child. In spite of a startling diamond ring. Out of the ashes, God is doing a new thing. As the prayer group heads into a new year fraught with change, Jodi Baxter and her Yada sisters are realizing it is either hunker down with the safe and stagnant, or get rolling with God-even if it means letting go of the old and embracing the new. |

| It's the early 1900's, and the Fellows family has decided to make a go of homesteading in the Oregon high desert. But the venture has been disastrous. Inexperienced Mr. Fellows resents any advice from his wife, who grew up on a farm. Ma is not only troubled about that, but 7-year-old Ellie's chronic illness is a source of worry and expense. 12-year-old Chris eases his own misery by stealing away from work to watch a neighbor's wild black pony, only to get into trouble. Then, when it seems things could not get worse, Fellows gets drunk and dies. Not willing to give up, Ma stubbornly"and creatively"seeks a way for the family to stay in Oregon. Frank Chase, an unintentional element in the death of Chris's father, is added to the mix and challenged by Ma to keep his word to help the family. The dramatic and sometimes humorous contest of wills comes to a satisfying culmination when, after Frank's purchase of the wild black pony for Chris, Ma is reluctantly forced to once again use her “backbone of steel� for the good of all. A great family read-aloud! Ages 10 and up |
