[Miss Julia 14.50] • Miss Julia's Gift · A Penguin Special From Viking

From "New York Times" bestselling author Ann B. Ross, a delightful story in which Miss Julia discovers the joy of giving and receiving gifts--and just in time for Valentine's Day Featuring the beloved stars of the Miss Julia novels--Luanne, Lillian, Hazel Marie, and of course, Miss Julia herself--"Miss Julia's Gift" is a funny and moving meditation on love, marriage, and the purpose of gift-giving. Miss Julia finds herself reminiscing about her first year of marriage to Sam Murdoch. Everything seemed perfect--alarmingly so. Miss Julia feared that Sam would morph from a sweet and loveable man into a replica of her loathsome first husband, the boring and deceitful Wesley Lloyd Springer. Even Sam's adorable habit of giving her gifts for all holidays and occasions--no matter how minor--caused Miss Julia anxiety. When will the other shoe drop, she wondered? After some soul-searching and valuable advice from her friends, Miss Julia comes to understand that Sam is nothing like Wesley--and never will be. Then, just in time for Valentine's Day, she thinks up the perfect romantic gift for her husband and realizes which gift she values most of all.
