Synopsis

Greater Gains continues the story of the love-hate relationship between Clara Garland and Nat Grover.

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.
