With devoted fans across the country, Miss Julia - that endearingly sharp-tongued Southern belle of a certain age - has no shortage of admirers. But in Miss Julia Meets Her Match, our feisty heroine must come to terms with her most ardent admirer of all: longtime beau Sam Murdoch, who wants to tie the knot. While it's hard to resist Sam's charm, Miss Julia isn't about to give up her independence so easily. After all, there are plenty of other matters that require her attention.

Story
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, Demon Copperhead is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.

Bigger, deeper, darker story than anticipated
Reviewed: 06-25-23
This novel is a tour de force for Barbara Kingsolver. Excellent writing about a region
of our country that is often neglected. Insightful and in-depth look into the human psyche.

Story
In Miss Julia Hits the Road, she is becoming increasingly concerned about her gentleman friend, Sam, who has suddenly started wearing cowboy boots, sending her flowers, and writing bad poetry. And when he shows up on a Harley-Davidson Road King and asks her to hop on, she's convinced he's lost his mind. Meanwhile, her invaluable housekeeper, Lillian, has been evicted from her home by her greedy landlord. Deciding that Lillian's need is greater than her own fear (not to mention loss of dignity), Miss Julia takes Sam up on his offer and sets off on a motorcycle Poker Run.

Take a trip to the Gulf Coast
Reviewed: 05-16-23
Having had several vacations on the Gulf Coast, I enjoyed the setting of this story.
Glistening water and sand between ones toes and all that sort of thing was good. I also liked the transformation of the old house.
However, the romantic parts were a bit sappy and the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, however, as I continued reading chapter after chapter, the characters grew on me and I began to have a real interest in their fates. At several points I had genuine LOL moments.
