Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Review:"Readers and writers often say the 'tone is everything,' and this is especially true of...Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind...This charming new novel employs traditional Southern humor, tonal variety, and psychological truth."

What a joy to read! Miss Julia is one of the most delightful characters to come along in years. Ann B. Ross has created what is sure to become a classic Southern comic novel. Hooray for Miss Julia, I could not have liked it more." (-- Fannie Flagg) Synopsis:With a cast of crazy characters and a strong Southern cadence, this beguiling novel follows the ordeal of a wealthy widow who finds herself in the midst of an unseemly scandal, saddled with the nine-year-old bastard son of her late husband.
