Ok, here is my quote...
"We all four of us been workin together, day in and day out for , oh
lord, I don t know how long. We done raised crops and chilren together,
done kept that brick house so clean you could eat off the floors. But
like Letta always says, who wanna eat off a floor?
You think somebody gonna throw us a party for getting through
all this? No sir. You don t get no trophies for liven the life you born
into. It just be your job, and you lucky if you can do the work set out
in front of you and not fret if it seem puny. Maybe the Good Lord ain t
give us nothing but puny things. Little bitta things sparklin through
our days and nights. In the fields and in the mornin air, little bitta
things that if you blink your eye, they be gone and ain t never comin
back."

Sounds like it could be from _The Color Purple_, so I'll guess Alice
Walker.

Nope. None of the above.
First Hint: This book was published within the last 10 years.

Nope.
Second Hint: A different book by the same author recently was made into
a movie.

Ok, here is a different quote from the same author:
"She stared at the phone. Her relationship with her mother had never
been smooth, but this latest episode was disastrous. For the umpteenth
time that week, [name deleted] punched the number of her parents home
at Pecan Grove. For the first time, she actually let it ring through."

My guess is that it's an American author, probably female. Nonetheless
I'll make a wild guess at a British author: Helen Fielding.

It is a female American author. Thus, it isnt Helen Fielding.

I'll answer on condition that I don't have to guess the next quote
(final exam is in a week and a half and no time to research a fun quote
until after I pass (or otherwise!))
Given the movie hint, my money is on Rebecca Wells.
