This is a very cute and funny book by Anne Ross. It's about a southern woman who's husband has just passed away. He was a wealthy and respectable man...or so she thought. One day she gets a very nice present on her doorstep...his son. They were never able to have children. So this comes as quite a shock to her. The adventure that they go through is quite exciting and funny. A few things made me mad, like the clergy trying to get their hands on her wealth and making her think that she has committed a serious sinful crime.
She is a delightful character and you can't help but just feel like you are one of her closest friends. She starts thinking for herself, which is something she was not allowed to do while her husband was alive. At first she despises the woman that her husband slept with, which is only natural. But as things start to unfold, she begins to despise her husband and become friends with the "harlot", which again, is only natural. There are so many delightful characters to love and hate.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants some light reading and could use a chuckle or too. There are several other "Miss Julia" books but I haven't read any of them and I believe that this book is the first. By the end of the book you will be saying "I declare!"
