Miss Julia's School of Beauty
Abbotsville, North Carolina's arbiter of all things proper, Miss Julia, and her friend Sam are finally married--or are they? Something is not quite right about their spur-of-the-moment nuptials at the Wedding Ring Chapel near Dollywood. The fact that she may have been living with Sam without being legally wed sends the normally unflappable Miss Julia into a tailspin, but that's not all she has to contend with. Her late first husband's erstwhile mistress, Hazel Marie, whom Miss Julia now thinks of as family, is organizing a beauty pageant to raise money for the sheriff department's canine unit and enlists Miss Julia's help. Also on the pageant committee is Etta Mae Wiggins, who once set her cap for Sam. Housekeeper Lillian and Sam's man James are feuding over who is the better cook. And LuAnne Conover is planning a big surprise reception for the supposed newlyweds at the country club. Fun for series fans, although a few of Ross' characters teeter dangerously close to being stereotypes.Mary Ellen QuinnCopyright © American Library Association.
