When a serial do-gooder and newcomer to town wants to open a group home right next to Hazel Marie's, Miss Julia takes up the reins to fight it on legal grounds. I admit, I was a bit worried about Miss Julia's soul for a portion of this book, so vocal was her opposition. But eventually, more nefarious reasons for choosing that site come to light. She teams up with a worthy (and of means) partner in neighbor Mildred Allen to fight fire (or tea party) with fire. I missed some of the regulars I have come to expect--not much from Etta Mae or Latisha this time. But I always enjoy the banter with Helen Stroud, especially as she works her magic at Thrulow's house. And I was happy with the compromise made with Ronnie, his huge dog. As always, all was well in Abbottsville by the end of the story. (

Change is in the air for Miss Julia and some of her closest friends, and it’s not all good. When a group home for wayward teen boys threatens the quiet neighborhood where Hazel Marie lives by moving next door to her, Miss Julia is driven to action. But she and those against the home are chastised by those in favor of it as being unchristian and unfair to those less fortunate. Author Ann B. Ross takes an interesting look at something that many people are for, as long as it is not in their own backyards. How Miss Julia justifies her actions and how she resolves her beliefs make for an interesting and enjoyable read. You might not always agree with her, but you have to admire how she tries to do the right thing for her friends and her community. Well written characters in creative storylines are the hallmark of this series. (
