Miss Julia Strikes Back: A Novel (#8 in the Miss Julia series of 22 Books) by Ann B. Ross  339 pages

I was lucky enough to stumble upon this title while looking up books about Julia Child and I am so happy I did.  This lady, Miss Julia is a true born and bred southern belle to the hilt.    Anything not up to her standards is an outright offense and never breach manners, politeness or respect in her presence the outrage will fly at you like a tigress in the form of demure Miss Julia.  This book was a hoot!  I laughed so much throughout.   Miss Julia takes no names but she does go after anyone wronging her for sure and she drags an entourage along for the ride/adventure.  It is so hilarious the pickles she get into and having no patience for who she deems a fool at any time, this little genteel lady/wildcat goes after whatever she has a mind too consequences be darned!  A Lady would never outright cuss, afterall, but, she takes no guff off of anyone believe me.  She is so funny, so disarming but always the epitome of a true southern lady.   The things she gets into and she has no patience when it comes to something she wants or wants done and she feels wronged by the slothfulness or slowness of those she sought to help.   Forget it she will do it herself with a few selected others in tow.   I enjoyed it so much now that I know there are more Miss Julia stories out there I look forward to the next.
