A Little Ray of Sunshine

By Lani Diane Rich

Book Overview

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...

Customer Reviews

THIS IS A KEEPER FOR SURE!

I loved this book by Lani Diane Rich. This is by far her best book! Dialogue was very witty. Read this book in one day it was so good. I hope she will continue with Jess and Dig's story.

Perfect!

Ever since I had my first baby I've been reading nothing but fun, easy, chick-lit. Unfortunately, even though it's all my tired brain can handle, it always seems to leave me only half-satisfied. I expected that same lukewarm satisfaction from this book. Imagine my shock when my expectations were shattered. Chick-lit? Yes. Easy read? Yes. Trite? Heck No! I laughed out loud and cried too! I liked this book so much that the day after I finished it, I started it all over again. I am truly impressed, and will pass this book around to my friends and relatives. This, in my world, is the best compliment I can give a book. Enjoy!

Fun page turner

I couldn't put it down. It's fun and funny and warm and sweet but not sappy. Now I want the next book.

Must Read

This book is an absolutely wonderful page turner. It touches every emotion humanly possible..and in the end- you love yourself and the book for taking the journey!

totally engaging

I couldn't put this down. It's so engrossing. It's got Rich's trademark wiseacre humor, but it goes deep to real, affecting emotion. Great characters, great moments, complicated relationships, and a touching romance. I loved it.
