Sinossi
L’intera area in cui sorge la casa di Lillian, l’adorabile governante amica di Miss Julia, è stata messa in vendita dal proprietario, e l’unico modo che Miss Julia escogita per salvarla è comprare lei stessa l’intero appezzamento. Ma come fare, visto che il venditore chiede una cifra esorbitante? Forse – suggerisce Sam, l’amico di sempre – partecipando a una competizione legata a motociclette e poker. E, per quanto Miss Julia detesti entrambi, alla fine le sembra l’unico modo per racimolare il denaro necessario.

Initially, this didn't start out well. I was confused with all the characters. It is after all, number 4 in the series and this was my beginning. It got much better, it was kinda funny and I had to admire Miss Julia for her fortitude, smarts and her love of the downtrodden. She is willing to do the
