The Fresco by Sheri S. Tepper

Description: One day, in the midst of strange events that are occurring throughout the United States, plain-spoken, 360 year-old bookstore manager Benita Alvarez-Shipton is greeted by a pair of aliens who ask her to transmit their message of peace to Washington.

And so begins a fantastic adventure more perilous and important than Benita can imagine, because the envoys have come with a dire warning about another extraterrestrial race: predators with their attention focused on Earth, who may have already made their first "visit".
