The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron

From Wikipedia:
The novel features Lucky, a 10-year-old girl who lives in a small town named Hard Pan (population 43) with her two friends Lincoln and Miles in the California desert. After her mother died two years ago, her father called upon his ex-wife, Brigette, to come to the United States from France to take care of Lucky. Lucky fears that Brigette is tired of being her guardian and of their life in Hard Pan. Her experiences lead her to believe that Brigette will abandon her and return to France. This anxiety prompts Lucky to seek help from her "Higher Power", a notion she gets from eavesdropping at her town's 12-step meetings.
