Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind

When Miss Julia’s husband dies unexpectedly, she has the chance to find out who she really is, now that she’s no longer beholden to her sterile, loveless marriage. But when a woman claims her child belongs to Miss Julia’s late husband, the Southern pillar of the community finds herself in the center of a scandal. It’s time for her to rise to the occasion and boy, does she! This is the first written in the Miss Julia series. Author Ann Ross claims she tried to make the books stand alone titles, but she found that "as soon as I sit down to start a new story, one or more of [the characters will] pop up with a problem for [Miss Julia] to solve."
