The Lear Family Trilogy by Julia London follows three privileged sisters whose comfortable lives are upended. Published in 2003 and 2004, the three books each feature a different Lear sister stepping out of her comfort zone.
Material Girl, Beauty Queen, and Miss Fortune move from one sister to the next, charting their growth from sheltered heiresses to women who earn their own happiness. The family dynamics give the trilogy cohesion, and readers will get the most from the character development by reading the books in order.
