Miss Julia Meets Her Match — Ann B. Ross

Finally, the answer to the most burning question of all:
Will the feisty Miss Julia meet her match in love?

Miss Julia--that beloved steel magnolia of a certain age--has been doing just fine for herself in the years since her philandering husband passed away. So when her longtime beau Sam Murdoch starts hearing wedding bells, Julia has some serious thinking to do--she isn't about to give up her independence so easily. Besides, there are plenty of other matters that require her attention, including a Holy Land theme park to be built on her property, a possible affair between the mayor and the preacher's secretary, and the arrival of her housekeeper's five-year-old pistol of a great-granddaughter. In the midst of all the commotion, can her cool-as-a-cucumber head help her heart make the decision of a lifetime?

As always, even the unexpected proves no match for Miss Julia, who stays sharp as a tack and proper as afternoon tea.
