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 listeners from first minute to the last.

It doesn’t take long before Miss Julia sees responses to her public actions. As she, the police officer who lodges with her, and “Little Lloyd” explore the homes left to her by her late husband, “Little Lloyd spots his home, only to discover it has been stripped of every sick of furniture, and the police officer finds blood in the garage. Then, when Miss Julia and Little Lloyd get home, they find Lillian on the front porch in terror. She has just returned from a trip to the market only to find that someone has ransacked and destroyed the house but not taken anything. Further, the pastor of her church, who is a chauvinist pig who misrepresents Scripture to suit his twisted needs, has formed a conspiracy to get Miss Julia declared mentally incompetent in order to get his hands on her money.
This book is fascinating and well worth reading. I purchased it from Audible, thinking it was a mystery, but while there are mystery components, the book deals more with life and rebuilding life after the passing of a dominating spouse. It examines types of manipulation, from the more subtle to the. blatant threats of Miss Julia’s pastor. The first-person narration of Miss Julia comes across as lively and clever.
Karen White does an excellent job of narrating this book. She puts on a believable accent as well as voices for the characters. She really brings this book to life.
I strongly enjoyed listening to Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind and recommend the book for everyone else. I give it five stars.
A delightful introduction to Miss Julia
