About this audiobook
Popular author Ann B. Ross' fan base grows with the publication of each novel in her Miss Julia series, which has cracked the New York Times extended best-seller list. In this episode, the graceful Southern lady's impeccable manners are pushed to the brink. When she learned her philandering (and late) husband left behind a lover and illegitimate son, Miss Julia could have gotten nasty. Instead, she kept her cool, adding Hazel Marie and Little Lloyd to her makeshift family. But now rumors are surfacing that call Little Lloyd's patrilineage into question. Has Miss Julia been duped? The only way to know for sure might be to exhume Wesley Lloyd Springer's body for a DNA test. Fresh, funny, and full of Southern charm, Miss Julia Stands Her Ground is as appealing as a cold glass of lemonade and an empty rocking chair in the shade.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love the miss Julia books! I like how this one went back into the past.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As always, Miss Julia is at her best when called upon to defend her loved ones. Hazel Marie's uncle Vernon Puckett returns to stir up trouble for Hazel Marie and Little Lloyd. He'll have to reckon with Miss Julia, though, who will do everything in her power to thwart his plans.I alternately laughed and cried as I read this book. Miss Julia's visit at the doctor's office is one of the funniest scenes in any of the books in this series. Miss Julia's extended reflections on her first Christmas with Little Lloyd and Hazel Marie were touching, and it was pleasant to revisit characters like Coleman and Binkie, who were featured in early books in the series but have only been mentioned in passing in more recent series entries.The only aspect of the book that marred my full enjoyment of the novel was an unnecessary passage describing a home sales party for personal items that, through a series of circumstances, ended up at Miss Julia's house. The scene was superfluous to the plot of the book, and it described the wares in more detail than many readers would be comfortable with.
