Had a patron in today with some sketchy descriptions of a book and she'd like the know the author and title.

Fiction-L always has the answers, so here you go!

Author might be african-american. Book published within the last 2 years.

A contemporary novel that follows an african-american family going through some life changes.

Each member of the family is visited by a different angel.

The family members are a grandmother (may be a former professor), a mother (real estate agent) and a teenager (contemplating running away ater a run-in with the law).

I've tried our catalog, Novelist, and WDIRN to no avail.

"Help me Fiction-L, you're my only hope."

I know I'm responding late but was this maybe "You Know Better" by Tina McElroy Ansa?
