Chapter Five. The Power of Context - Part Two.


''Rebecca Wells says that what she began to realise as the Ya-Ya epidemic grew was that it wasn't really about her or even her book: It wasn't one epidemic focused on 1 thing.  It was thousands of different epidemics all focused on the groups that had grown up around Ya-Ya.
