bean trees by barbara kingsolver:
Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.

I really liked The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. It's not a religious book, very good story.

I recommend reading any of the Barbara Taylor Caldwell books. They are family sagas whose main character is a strong female. There is love, intrigue, heartbreak, joy. You name it the books run the gamet of emotions. At the end you feel good about being a woman through your association with characters. Enjoy.

Katherine by Anya Seton
It's based on a true story about a naive girl growing into a mature woman who has loved and lost, sinned and been redeemed and finally gets the happy ending she deserves.

Bridget Jones's Diary and the sequel, by Helen Fielding. Bridget goes through a lot of trouble, but she's so relatable and you can't help but love her. Plus, the books are hilarious, which always makes me feel good!

Try Funny In Farsi, by Firoozeh Dumas. It's one of the funniest books I've read in a long time.
