Fans of the Ya-Yas are in luck: Rebecca Wells is back, with a new novel whose ponderous title introduces a charming heroine in a new cast of richly eccentric Louisianans. They're not Ya-Yas — members of that fictitious sorority that made "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" and Wells' two related novels such enduring best-sellers.
