Miss Julia Hits the Road by Ann B. Ross     339 pages

Miss Julia's gentleman friend, Sam, has taken to wearing cowboy boots, even leather and driving a motorcycle!  He is sending her flowers and poetry and she thinks he is suffering from dementia!  In the meantime, Lillian has been evicted from her own home along with the other folks in the nine houses on her street.   The greedy jerk landlord doing it happens to be a deacon at Miss Julia's church!  Miss Julia enlists Binky's help to find a way out of it for Lillian and her neighbors but Binky is about to go into labor at any time herself.   Though worried for his sanity, Miss Julia calls on Sam who finds it is near to impossible to stop.   Seems there are viagra like qualities attributed to a spring behind the rental properties and the deacon plans on bottling it and selling it!   Drastic times call for drastic measures and Miss Julia and her usual go-to's get together to brain storm ways to keep Lillian and her neighborhood from going under and you won't believe what comes of it!  Is there a Harley in Miss Julia's future?  I recommend this book to all who love Miss Julia's tales as much as I do.   I think this one will appeal to 20 somethings on up.
