Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind

Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind by Ann B. Ross Summary: Miss Julia, a recently bereaved and newly wealthy widow, is only slightly bemused when one Hazel Marie Puckett appears at her door with a youngster in tow and unceremoniously announces that the child is the bastard son of Miss Julia's late husband. Suddenly, this longtime church member and pillar of her small Southern community finds herself in the center of an unseemly scandal-and the guardian of a wan nine-year-old whose mere presence turns her life upside down. With razor-sharp wit and perfect "Steel Magnolia" poise, Miss Julia speaks her mind indeed-about a robbery, a kidnapping, and the other disgraceful events precipitated by her husband's death. Fast-paced and charming, with a sure sense of comic drama, a cast of crazy characters, and a strong Southern cadence, Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind will delight readers from first page to last. Angie’s comments: Miss Julia is a strong character, and it is an understatement to say “a cast of crazy characters”. The characters are very interesting. The plot is good but becomes a bit of a farce towards the end. Get ready for some odd (and funny) times. This is the first book in a series that now has over 15 books in it.  Recommended for readers who like zany characters and a small town setting.  Request this item
