Miss Julia Stands Her Ground (Miss Julia Series #7)

by Ann B. Ross Narrated by Cynthia Darlow

Overview

Popular author Ann B. Ross' fan base grows with the publication of each novel in her Miss Julia series, which has cracked the New York Times extended best-seller list. In this episode, the graceful Southern lady's impeccable manners are pushed to the brink. When she learned her philandering (and late) husband left behind a lover and illegitimate son, Miss Julia could have gotten nasty. Instead, she kept her cool, adding Hazel Marie and Little Lloyd to her makeshift family. But now rumors are surfacing that call Little Lloyd's patrilineage into question. Has Miss Julia been duped? The only way to know for sure might be to exhume Wesley Lloyd Springer's body for a DNA test. Fresh, funny, and full of Southern charm, Miss Julia Stands Her Ground is as appealing as a cold glass of lemonade and an empty rocking chair in the shade.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Heavens! Brother Vernon Pluckett blows into town with what he claims is solid proof that Little Lloyd is not the son of Miss Julia's cheatin' (and now dead) husband. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Miss Julia and her many zany predicaments are made even more hilarious by the strong performance of Cynthia Darlow. Darlow has the impressive ability to impersonate the characters of a young boy, a high-strung elderly woman, a calm, mild-mannered old man, and many others. Miss Julia’s main concern in this book is trying to prove the paternity of Little Lloyd, the young boy living in her house who has won her heart. Author Ann Ross has cleverly woven this story of mishaps, misunderstandings, and just plain craziness with tongue-in-cheek humor. The story and Cynthia Darlow’s performance will have listeners laughing out loud. N.L. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
