Miss Julia Meets Her Match
Miss Julia Series #5
By Ann B. Ross

Read by Claudia Hughes

     Miss Julia is back and she has plenty to keep her busy. A mysterious gentleman appears wanting to lease her property. He wants to build a theme park for Jesus -- sort of a Holy Land type place. Miss Julia leases it to him without checking with her lawyer, which eventually leads to some problems. Miss Julia also contends with the resurfacing of the history of her late philandering husband.

      Miss Julia also is weighing the options of marriage. Sam is ready to settle down, and Miss Julia loves him, but she’s not ready to give up her freedom in the old-fashion way men of Sam’s age would expect. Will she or won’t she?

       Miss Julia takes in another border. Her black housekeeper, Lillian, has to care for her great-granddaughter, Latisha, a five-year-old vocal whirlwind. She’s crazy about Lloyd and follows him everywhere. Latisha calls ’em as she sees ‘em. She adds humor to the storyline. Will she call the grown-ups on the latest secrets she sees them whispering about? Especially the one about Miss Julia’s pastor and his painted-up wife?

      Miss Julia Meets Her Match is read by Claudia Hughes. She also reads Miss Julia Hits the Road. Hughes’ southern accent is perfect. She conveys Miss Julia’s strength and determination as a community and family leader, and reveals Miss Julia’s docile femininity as she seeks Sam’s guidance. Karen White reads the other Miss Julia audios. Both do a fine job with Miss Julia, as well the other characters.
