Miss Julia a recently bereaved and newly wealthy widow is only slightly bemused when one Hazel Marie Puckett appears at her door with a youngster in tow and unceremoniously announces that the child is the bastard son of Miss Julia's late husband. Suddenly this longtime church member and pillar of her small Southern community finds herself in the center of an unseemly scandal--and the guardian of a wan nine-year-old whose mere presence turns her life upside down. With razor-sharp wit and perfect "Steel Magnolia" poise Miss Julia speaks her mind indeed--about a robbery a kidnapping and the other disgraceful events precipitated by her husband's death. Fast-paced and charming with a sure sense of comic drama a cast of crazy characters and a strong Southern cadence Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind will delight listeners from start to end.
