MISS JULIA RAISES THE ROOF

By Ann B. Ross

A reader favorite, Miss Julia has weathered quite a bit during her days, and she continues to delight with this latest release in the series.

With her husband on a trip to Europe, Miss Julia has more than a bit of time on her hands and tries to focus on helping her neighbors. Now, living in the peaceful town of Abbotsville, the one thing that can be counted on is the fact that gossip is always crossing over the neighbor’s fences. The latest news to hit Miss Julia’s ears comes in the form of a group home that is supposedly going to be set up next to her friend Hazel Marie’s house.

The people working on this project are locals, Pastor Rucker and a woman deemed to be a nosy do-gooder named Madge. This is to be a home for wayward boys, something that may scare the neighborhood and cause them to stop the project from happening, which is the only reason that Miss Julia can think of for why these two people are trying to keep their project a secret from everyone.

But as Julia and Hazel delve further into this plan, information starts to surface that is far darker than just placing a boy’s home in the historic district of town. There is a scheme in place, and Miss Julia and Hazel feel the need to raise their voices. In return, however, they come under verbal attack by those who live in the gated communities who state that Miss Julia, who has been a real do-gooder all her life, is nothing but an un-Christian NIMBY Scrooge. Now, not only will Miss Julia fight to clean her sullied name, but she also will not rest until she uncovers and reveals the evidence that proves there’s evil afoot.

As always with Miss Julia and her friends, Abbotsville remains one of the most entertaining places you can possibly visit.
