Neta’s Yada Yada Series
Neta Jackson’s
award-winning Yada Yada books have sold over 300,000 copies and are
spawning prayer groups all across the country. Sometimes dubbed “chick-lit” for
the bright covers and catchy titles, this series will surprise the reader with
its depth of characters and true-to-life events. Inspired by a group of real
women, each book will have you laughing, crying, and perhaps praying anew. As
one fan wrote, “You challenge every area of prejudice” but without bringing the
reader down.
Book #1, The Yada
Yada Prayer Group. If you haven't had a chance to catch the wave, you'll
want to start with Neta’s first novel in this series about a group of
Chicago-area women from totally diverse backgrounds who are thrown together at a
women’s conference and decide to form a “prayer group.”
Book #2, The Yada
Yada Prayer Group Gets Down. The fledging prayer group endures a
terrifying experience that causes the members to wonder whether they will ever
get back to “normal.” Then a well-meaning gesture incites a backlash of anger in
the group, forcing them to confront generations of racial division, pain, and
mistrust—and stretches their friendship to the limit as they discover new depths
of true forgiveness.
Book #3, The Yada
Yada Prayer Group Gets Real, finds Jodi Baxter's oasis turned upside
down when her upstairs neighbors move out and her nemesis, Leslie (Stu) Stuart,
moves in! Avis' middle-aged cocoon is turned inside out, too, by a beau from her
past, and Chanda's future has never looked brighter. But Stu's proximity to the
Baxter household will draw her secret to the surface-and no one is ready for the
crisis that will follow.
Book #4, The Yada
Yada Prayer Group Gets Tough. When a white supremacy group targeting a
local university attacks Nony's husband, the Yada Yada Prayer Group realizes
they have just entered the spiritual war zone, and it is time to get tough! Once
again, Neta does not shy away from difficult issues like differences in prayer,
cross-cultural relationships, and worship, thus taking fiction to a whole new
level of reality.
Book #5, The Yada
Yada Prayer Group Gets Caught. The Yada Yada sisters can't seem to shake
free from mushrooming circumstances of life. Ruth and Ben are caught in an
unplanned pregnancy—in their fifties! Chanda is deluded by her lottery winnings.
Florida wants to move her family out of trouble. And Avis, who seems to glide
above the troubles of the world must contend with an abused adult daughter who
keeps running home to Mama. Jodi Baxter is in a whirl because the prayer list is
getting out of control.
Book #6, The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Rolling. A devastating fire wakes up the Yada sisters to a new reality: God is in the move, and it's time for them to
press on, pray on, and get rolling! 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.
Book #7, The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Decked Out.
In this highly anticipated installment, the Yada Yada sisters-a group of multi-cultural friends-and their families prepare for the event of the season.
