A Little Ray of Sunshine — Lani Diane Rich

From the author of the "hilarious and poignant" The Fortune Quilt comes a brand-new novel about love, loners, and semidivine intervention....

Emmy James is not the kind of girl who attracts angels. In fact, after she sent her life into a nosedive six years ago, she's tried to attract as little as possible -- attention, people, or responsibility. She skips from town to town, getting odd jobs and keeping to herself, waiting for a sudden whim that lets her know it's time to move again. And this works just fine, until the day two unexpected visitors show up at the New Jersey trailer park she currently calls home. One is a childhood friend with news: EJ's mother and his father are getting married, and they want EJ to be there. The other is a sweet but odd woman named Jess, who says she's an angel specializing in cosmic relationship mending...and blueberry pancakes.

The next morning, EJ wakes up with Jess behind the wheel of her Airstream trailer, determined to help EJ mend bridges she blew up long ago. No match for an angel on a mission, EJ realizes it's time to confront her past. Prepared for the worst, she goes home to Fletcher, Oregon, only to find that sometimes the people you think you know the best are the ones who can surprise you the most....
