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 … 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.

This is the 1st in a series of Miss Julia….She is an older, ” tell it like it is”, well-mannered Southern lady whose life is changed when her odious deceased husband’s mistress & the offspring show up at Miss Julia’s door! Enjoyable characters & a fun read!
Miss Julia is a terrific character. New to being a widow, she is discovering that that she can think for herself and make some darn good decisions. Very light and entertaining when you don’t want to get drug down by a heavy subject matter.
