The Book Diva's Reads

Miss Julia has seen her fair share of drama and adventure. Just a few weeks after her first husband's death she learns that he had a mistress and child out-of-wedlock. She then stuns her friends and neighbors by taking the mistress and child into her home and under her wing. Her ex-husband didn't exactly provide her with a glowing example of what a husband should be. Now she's in her second marriage and although she dearly loves her new husband, Sam Murdoch, she isn't quite sure what to do about his spontaneous gift giving.

Miss Julia's Gift is a short story that was a special release earlier this year. Ms. Ross provides a little more insight into what makes Miss Julia tick with this story. The reader is allowed to appreciate how Miss Julia thinks and although she is quite happy in her second marriage, she obviously still has issues remaining from her first. Miss Julia's Gift is not so much about the actual practice of giving and receiving gifts as it is a lesson to appreciate the effort that is made and intention behind the gift. Although Miss Julia's Gift was released as a Valentine's Day read, it is perfect for anytime of the year. If you enjoy reading the Miss Julia series, then you definitely want to add this to your to-be-read list. If you haven't read any of the Miss Julia series, what are you waiting for?
