Miss Julia's longtime beau, Sam Murdoch, wants to tie the knot. But Miss Julia isn't about to give up her independence so easily. There are simply far too many other matters in need of her attention, such as Dwayne Dooley's plans to build the Walk Where Jesus Walked Christian theme park. Meanwhile, the whole town is buzzing with rumors. The preacher's secretary was spotted leaving a sleazy motel with the mayor's car parked nearby. The preacher's wife, always sternly opposed to any "artificial adornment," is suddenly sporting a complete cosmetic and fashion makeover. Even Miss Julia's own home is not immune to shock waves-the arrival of Latisha, housekeeper Lillian's five-year-old pistol of a great-granddaughter, shakes up Miss Julia's household like a bunch of Fourth of July firecrackers. But can Miss Julia's cool-as-a-cucumber head help her heart make the decision of a lifetime?

Miss Julia meets her match in more ways than one in this romp of a Southern comedy. Her first mistake is signing a lease allowing an unprepossessing stranger to build a Walk Where Jesus Walked Theme Park on her property. Soon the town is in an uproar--WWJW's Mary Magdalen has some confessing she wants to do about her past sins with half the husbands of the town. Meanwhile Sam Murdoch can't understand why Julia won't marry him, and the housekeeper's 5-year-old great-granddaughter, Latisha, can't understand why this isn't the kind of theme park with talking mice and flume rides. Claudia Hughes narrates with a light touch and a sense of humor, a perfect match for Miss Julia's spunk and charm. B.G. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
