I read this a few years ago, but I enjoyed it.
A woman finds out her dead husband had a child by another woman!
She deals with this and other things that come up, learning to rely on herself. ( )

Well it started off really slow, I didnt know what to think about it lol. But i would have to say a 4 out of a 5 all in all. It picked up pace continually and got to be a book i couldnt put down. I will definatley be looking for the next in the series. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0688177751, Paperback)

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.
