This book in the Miss Julia series is one of the best yet! The book opens with Miss Julia breathing a sigh of relief over the hurried nuptials of Hazel Marie and J. D. Pickens. But there's no rest for the weary and in typical Miss Julia fashion she finds herself coming to the defense of Etta Mae Wiggins when the hard working home health aide is accused of assaulting and stealing from a client. As if that wasn't enough, some unpleasant memories are resurrected in the form of one "Doctor" Fred Fowler, who slithers in to Abbotsville hawking his own brand of marriage counseling. It's fun to once again connect with Miss Julia and her extended family, including Lillian and little Lloyd. This time Julia finds out that a person can only pretend to be sick so long, before other people start treating her as if she's an invalid. And lurking in the background is her very real worry that Hazel Mae and J.D. may not have what it takes to make their own marriage work. And they've got twins on the way!New readers to the series will find some enjoyment in this episode. But devoted fans will be the ones to most appreciate the trip back to Abbotsville, where it's always Miss Julia who has to straighten everything out. Well, I have now listened to about eight of these Miss Julia books on tape. Clearly I'm in love with the irrascible and spunky Miss Julia as well as her entire tribe, even the ones she can't stand. For those who like well populated Southern towns full of quirky but well-tolerated and well-loved characters who embark on exciting adventures! If our library had more of these on tape, I would listen to them all. But I don't think I'd bother to read them in print.
