Publisher Description

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 listeners from start to end.

"My biggest beef about the book was that Miss Julia couldn't see how people were pulling her chain all the time in order to get to her money. But I loved her character and the interesting twist of the story and outcome. I wasn't expecting her to respond the way she did to the mother and her husband's lover."

    " I love this whole series of books. They are absolutely hilarious. Miss Julia is a "steel magnolia" whose attempts to carry on with life in a classy way while everything around her is anything but proper are laugh out loud funny. "

    " I read this with my old book group. I thought this one was a lot of fun. I even laughed out loud in a couple of places. However, the reaction of a couple of the other women in the group was one of anger and frustration at the small town mentality and dynamics depicted throughout the book. I too felt that frustration, but it was good to see Miss Julia blossom into her own. "

    " Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind is quirky, candid and offers keen observations on the social rules that govern life in a small town. Though the novel is good-natured at its heart, I found myself wanting to shake some sense into Miss Julia. This book is easy and fast-paced for those who wish a brainless read. "

    " Just when I was really getting to like Julia, the story turned too farcicle for my liking. I like humor until it crosses the line to silly. Like most farce, they all lived happily ever after. "
