Three stories thematically linked: in each an orphaned girl experiences a major change in her life (a sister's marriage, a cold and distant guardian's demise, a beloved father's death) and goes to live with relatives of whom she had previously had little knowledge. Ward of Lucifer is rather formulaic and not much better than run-of-the Mills and Boon, The Heart Cannot Forget was pretty good but still somewhat predictable (although the plot twist about the stuffy aunt's early love life was surprising), and A Home for Joy was -- a joy to read, with a feisty heroine who successfully manages to both satisfy and thwart the grasping aunt and the autocratic aunt who want to run her life to suit them.
