Book Review by Jane
Miss Julia is one of the most pleasant characters I have ever met in a book. She is somewhat haughty but in a sincere way. So if she says she doesn’t like something, she doesn’t. But she also has a tender spot for some people in her life. She is a widow, but you must read the books to find out whether she remarries. Miss Julia is full of southern charm as well. She finds her voice after many years of doing everything her husband wanted.

Miss Julia Stands Her Ground continues the story of Miss Julia and Hazel Marie, her newfound friend who was also her deceased husband’s mistress. These books are laugh out loud funny. Although usually not their own doing, the predicaments which Miss Julia and Hazel Marie get into are incredible.

This is a series of books. I felt that Miss Julia Stands Her Ground could stand alone, but this series is an enjoyable read and really goes together. You could just read this book. But if you haven’t read Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind, the first book, then Miss Julia Takes Over, then Miss Julia Throws a Wedding, then Miss Julia Hits the Road, then Miss Julia Meets Her Match, then Miss Julia’s School of Beauty, you’re missing out. I suggest you start out with Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind. You will easily get through the books because they demand to be read.
