Blurb (from book jacket): A proper lady of a certain age, Miss Julia Springer's quiet existence is interrupted when a close 'friend' of her deceased husband shows up at her doorstep with none other than Wesley Lloyd Springer's illegitimate son. Hazel Marie Puckett, with 'heels too high, a dress too short, and hair too yellow,' announces that since the two-timing man left her penniless, she's leaving Little Lloyd in Miss Julia's good Christian care. Now Miss Julia cuts loose and speaks her mind as the boy and his randy mother bring scandal and rollicking adventure into her life-especially since Hazel Marie is the target of a hilarious misguided kidnap plot!"
Opinion: Well, it was a quick read but Miss Julia's character pisses me off sometimes with her naivity. Pretty good mystery however.
