This is the story of Julia Springer who is adjusting to a quiet life after the passing of her controlling, judgemental and demanding husband. She lives on a tidy sum left by her husband in her comfortable home, a respectable older southern lady with an impeccable reputation.
One day a young woman named Hazel Marie Puckett shows up on her doorstep with a young boy, claiming that her late husband is the boys father, and Julia's life is turned upside down.
In total disbelief, she consults her housekeeper and friend Lillian for advise and then turns to the man who rents a room in her large home, Deputy Coleman Bates.
Throw in the greedy pastor from Julia's church who claims that her husband actually meant to leave his life's saving to the church and not his wife, Julia has her hands full trying to hold on to her fortune, avoid small town gossips and total scandal and ruin.
I highly recommend this one, and if you enjoy it as much as I did, there are no less than TWENTY ONE more books in the Miss Julia series! I only read the first 5 or 6, but they were all a lot of fun. This series could keep you busy for a long while!
