Hi all-

I'm trying to remember the title or author of a book that came out no earlier
than August 2001 and no later than May 2003, though I think it was the summer
of 2002, about a mom who comes to watch over her daughter, especially her
daughter's love life, after she's died. It's a chicklitish book and I remember
seeing it in a trade size edition. A patron is looking for books where a
character is an angel who comes back to watch over loved ones. I'd like to
remember this book, but I can't remember the title :) Thanks!

I don't believe anyone replied to this, so I'll add what information I can. I believe I saw the pre-pub version, it was set in New Jersey and featured a Jewish mother. Sorry, I can't remember the name of the book or author.

Katie-

Is it "A Little Help From Above" by Saralee Rosenberg?

Hope this helps.

That would be it Tammy. Thanks! I checked the cover on Amazon.com just to
make sure. It's really bad when I can remember what the cover looks like, but
not the title or author :)

I skimmed over the original thread of "Angel Mom". If I read it, I would
have known that it was the book I was asking for in my "Author from
Manhasset" thread. Isn't that strange that more than one person did not know
the title or author of this book, "A Little Help From Above", but remembered
the story?
