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 in an Airstream trailer, working odd jobs and keeping to herself until a sudden whim 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 calls home. One is a childhood friend with news: her 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. Jess doesn't think it's any coincidence that this is all happening at once, but EJ would rather run herself over with her own Airstream before reconnecting with her neglectful, self-absorbed mother. When she wakes up to find her trailer cruising down the highway with a determined angel at the wheel, however, EJ realizes that sometimes what you want and what the Universe intends for you can be two very different things...… (altro)

I don't know how I could have gone so many years never seeing Lani Diane Rich's name much less never reading her books.

A Little Ray of Sunshine is just that. It's an extremely balanced book with an interesting set of characters, none of whom behave in the stereotypical way that one expects in chick lit books. Rich writes with a sense of humor and yet depth and with a level of quirkiness that is appealing. I look forward to reading more! ( )

Interesting little tale. ( )

Former child star Lilly Lorraine spent most of her life ignoring and mocking her only daughter Emmy James, a young woman who has grown up to doubt her ability to love and be loved by someone else. As EJ leaves her small Oregon town with a big, burdensome secret on her back, she begins to heal with the help of an angel, Jess, who magically drops into her life at a gas station. Jess convinces EJ it's time to return home and deal with news brought to her by a childhood friend -- and begin to understand, and possibly forgive, her estranged mother.

A fun and poignant read, I really enjoyed this book -- it was full of plenty of twists to keep me moving quickly through the plot. There were huge unanswered questions looming over most of the novel, and I'm happy to say Rich effectively resolved the loose ends by the conclusion. Full of humorous scenes and colorful imagery, it was hard to put this one down. I loved watching EJ reconcile with the people who used to love her most in the entire world -- and still do. ( )

Funny, poignant, great read.

Seven years ago, she ran away from a really good thing, can she get it back?

EJ has been hiding in a life of RV parks, temp jobs, and emotional denial when an "angel" forced her to go home for a redemption of her past.

This little book packs more surprises and revelations than you might expect. ( )
