Laurie's work as an editor's assistant at the Everett Daily Herald puts her in a position to vent her feelings about women's suffrage and prohibition. The birth of her son, her friend's encounter with spousal abuse, labor unrest and violence, World War I, influenza, and the usual bumps of everyday life tax the wisdom and courage she earned with her survival from the crash.
But through misfortune and loss, Laurie emerges victorious, a strong, dedicated woman whose newspaper career grows from an assistant position to an editor and publisher in her own right. Beyond Wellington is the story of one woman's valor, strength, and determination in her triumph over adversity.
