The Extra Large Medium by Helen Slavin

Annie can see dead people. They wear chocolate-colored clothing and talk to her. She's a medium and learns at an early age that it makes other people uncomfortable when she talks about it. So she doesn't. But her gift helps the dead because she can deliver messages. She can help the living by giving them advice and finding lost loved ones. But somehow Annie's personal life needs help. Her relationship with her mother is odd. Her husband leaves her out-of-the-blue. This is definitely a quirky adult novel and not for everyone. But I found myself caring for Annie and the twist about her husband was original and very unexpected.
