Set in the south and full of humor, Miss Julia's School of Beauty has Miss Julia upset over the possiblility that she and Sam are "living in sin". Was that quick little wedding chapel service legit and if not... Lordy, how will she able to hide it from her friends and Pastor Ledbetter! Great for the beach.

I love Miss Julia books. In this one, when Hazel Marie agrees to hold a beauty pageant to aid the local sheriff's department, Miss Julia, who detests beauty pageants, even gets into it when a young girl with little beauty but a sterling talent, needs Miss Julia's help and confidence to enter and do well.

My friend and i always enjoy these books. it seems, in this one, to be a little more serious in that her marriage seems threatened. She is more a victim of circumstance than usual. usually she gets herself into trouble.this book was as enjoyable as the others, though.

Great book - more "goings-on" with Miss Julia. She and Sam thought they were married turns out they are not. But in the end they do quietly get married. Hazel Marie, Miss Julia and Etta Mae Wiggins are doing a beauty pagenant for the sheriff's dept. Funny book.

This book is an enjoyable "comfortable" read. It's as good as the other Miss Julia books. The cast of characters is entertaining. The story carries you along. Perfect for a quiet week end.

Another fun romp with Miss Julia and her quirky cast of characters. Miss Julia is pondering the legality of her marriage to Sam Murdoch while helping Hazel Marie organize a beauty pageant for the local Sheriff's dept. Once again this book does not disappoint Miss Julia fans. I love the antics of all the characters. Carol

I like the characters but this one was ridiculous, shallow.

Another fun romp through life with Miss Julia. Just back from a whirlwind marriage to Sam, she is coopted into helping with a beauty pageant, of all things, to help support the local police department. But when she comes to suspect that her marriage may not be legal, she bans Sam from her bedroom only to immediately worry that he's looking around for another love. Funny and warm, as Ross' Miss Julia books typically are, you equally sympathize and are exasperated with this Southern woman of a certain age, her foibles and her strengths.
