About this ebook
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.

Funny, funny, funny! I have read the entire series and laughed myself to death over these. If you liked Fried Green Tomatoes, you will love these books. Miss Julia is such a kick and being originally from the South myself, saw many of my relatives in these stories. Read all of them!

I love Julia and especially her housekeeper Lillian. Such a delight to read and will leave you wanting to know more about the characters in Abbotsville.
