    Synopsis

    Miss Julia's wildly popular escapades have kept readers coming back again and again. InMiss Julia Meets Her Match, she finally succumbed to Sam's charms and became Mrs. Murdoch. Will marriage dampen this proper lady's sense of adventure? Fortunately for her growing legion of fans, the answer is no. In Miss Julia's School of Beauty, Hazel Marie is organizing a beauty pageant to raise money for the sheriff's department and enlists Miss Julia's help in teaching the contestants etiquette and poise. Between settling into a new, unfamiliar home and refereeing the squabbles between Sam's housekeeper, James, and her beloved Lillian, Miss Julia could use a distraction. But when Hazel Marie and Little Lloyd—who are still in residence at her old homestead—have a dangerous domestic mishap that only she can set right, Miss Julia packs up and moves back home, Sam in tow.

    Just when everything seems to have returned to almost normal, the town erupts with rumors about a marriage mill that may be performing fraudulent ceremonies. What would the town think if they found out Sam and Miss Julia might be living in sin?

    June 27, 2006: I had never read a book from this series and picked it up as a summer read. It was moving right along until it reached dialogue between the cooks Lillian and James and then, ultimately, the great grandchild. These characters could have just come in from the field as slaves given their language and dialect. It was like reading Huckleberry Finn (and not in the best sense). Surely African Americans must be offended by the dialogue - sho nuff. It is embarassing.... O.K. maybe Lillian and James are very, very old. But the child is reportedly 5 years old (or so) This is really a difficult book to read because it makes the reader so uneasy with what feels very racist in 2006. Finally, the main character is so 'correct' seems like she could help the child to express herself in a manner similar to her own grandchild. This book conveys a really negative message.
