Book description
Greater Gains continues the story of the love-hate relationship
between Clara Garland and Nat Grover. Clara has been left a widow,
pregnant with another man's child, and it seems as if things could not
get worse. But soon her pretty and reckless youngest sister, Ellen, is
harshly sentenced to deportation to the newly-discovered land of
Australia, alongside many other convicts. And back in Norfolk, Clara
becomes the victim of blackmail that puts her in the clutches of the
wicked Nat Grover in more ways than one...Will her pure love for
Prosper Mayes ever survive?
Spanning from the gritty county of Norfolk to the wilds of Australia
in the early nineteenth century, the Garlands face huge obstacles in
their struggle to survive as a family. Yet, they remain as inimitable
and courageous as ever.
