Light from Uncommon StarsLight from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Shazuka Satomi, an accomplished violin player and teacher, makes a deal with the devil so she may save herself by delivering seven violinists of the upmost talent. She has already delivered six of the seven promised when she stumbles upon Katina Nguyen playing her violin in the park on the East side of Los Angeles. Katrina, a transgendered runaway attempting to escape abuses at home, gladly accepts room and board to learn from the great Satomi. Meanwhile, Lan Tran, a starship captain and recent refugee from a far away planet, purchases a donut shop in Los Angeles, a shop Satomi frequents, to safely wait out the Endplague. All three of these women's paths come together by chance to create an unforgettable story about family, love, curses, and acceptance.
