Finally, the answer to the most burning question of all: Will the feisty Miss Julia meet her own 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. But could her single days be numbered? In Miss Julia Meets Her Match, Julia's longtime beau, Sam Murdoch, wants to tie the knot. And while it's hard to resist Sam's heart-racing charm, Miss Julia isn't about to give up her independence so easily. At the moment there are many other matters that require her attention, such as the plans of the mysterious drifter Dwayne Dooley to build the Walk Where Jesus Walked Christian theme park--a re-creation of the Holy Land complete with actors, sound effects, and trailer hookups--on her property.
Meanwhile, the whole town is buzzing with rumors. The preacher's secretary was spotted leaving a sleazy motel with the mayor's car parked nearby. The preacher's wife, always sternly opposed to any "artificial adornment," is suddenly sporting a complete cosmetic and fashion makeover. And then there's Mildred Allen's son, Tony, who has come back from New York with some surprising news of his own--he will now be known as "Tonya." Even Miss Julia's own home is not immune to shock waves--the arrival of Latisha, housekeeper Lillian's five-year-old pistol of a great-granddaughter, sets off sparks in Miss Julia's household like a bunch of Fourth of July firecrackers. But what could shake them all up even more is if anyone finds out the most troubling gossip of all--more tall tales about Miss Julia's late husband, which could ruin Little Lloyd's burnished image of his father....
Can Miss Julia turn the town's attention away from herself before she becomes the center of scandal? And 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, the unexpected twists and turns prove to be no match for Miss Julia, who stays sharp as a tack and proper as afternoon tea in the delightful new installment of this Southern comedy of manners.
