Three Boston merchant brothers coax from an Irish immigrant the secret of making fine soap, and set into motion a chain of events that spins a family-run cottage soap works into a multinational consumer-goods giant.
Review:
"Power's recounting of the company's steady expansion, weathering the decades' economic ups and downs, and its regular ability to adapt to the consumer market provides an early indication of the author's considerable skill."
Hardy Green, Business Week, 07/27/1998

Book Description: St Martin's Press, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 248 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. A "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year "Gain" tells two parallel stories: one, of Laura Bodey, divorced mother of two and successful real-estate agent in the small town of Lacewood, Illinois, who one day discovers that she has ovarian cancer; and two, of Clare Soap Chemical, the company begun by three merchant brothers in 19th-century Boston, which by the turn of the century has grown into a large multiconglomerate with factories in Laura's hometown. As the history of Clare Soap changes through the history of America, so a modern-day Laura Bodey descends into a battle with her terminal illness. By the novel's conclusion, we have learned how the largest enterprises affect us on the most personal level.
