- As new co-owner of the Echo Louisa is striving for a first issue with impact but Holly and Minna are both having personal crises and require her support, thankfully Nick is there to anchor Louisa through the chaos of it all.
- As the new co-owner and editor of the town newspaper, Louisa wants her first issue to have a real impact, but she struggles to find a story worthy of her expectations. Holly deals with a major setback, and Nick brings both help and upheaval to Louisa's life.
- Louisa is embarking on a new chapter of her life as co-owner and editor of the Rainbow's End Echo. She is in love with Nick and daughter Holly is planning to attend university in Melbourne. Everything seems perfect in Louisa's life until the bubble bursts. Months after Sandy's death Minna is gripped with a grief that threatens to sink her.
- Louisa Atherton is in a very good place. She's in love with local mechanic Nick, daughter Holly is about to fly the coop to study in Melbourne, and she is embarking on a new chapter of her life as co-owner and editor of the Rainbow's End Echo. For a few precious moments, everything is perfect.
If only she didn't want more... Louisa demands the first issue of the new-look Echo make a big statement. It's a tall order, complicated by the fact her colleagues and part owners, Vivien and Gavin, have very different ideas about what makes a good story. Life tilts further off balance when Holly fails to get into her university course. At a time when everything is falling into place for Louisa, Holly's world is falling apart.
Life is cruel. Minna knows that. Months after Sandy's death she's gripped with a grief that threatens to sink her - if it weren't for Holly and her struggle, or the vexation of being double-billed for Sandy's funeral by local undertaker Lionel Smithwick.
Louisa's struggle to find a story leads to despair as the local news fails to inspire, fails to deliver or fails to materialise. With Nick's encouragement she pushes her quest to the wire. At the eleventh hour it seems she will have to settle for a headline that celebrates the arrival of Gavin's new desk -a minor historic curio.
Thank God for Nick. When the bubble bursts for Louisa and Holly, he's still standing, a rock in the maelstrom, a true believer... Just as life is restored to a manageable state of upheaval and Louisa basks in the realisation that chaos may be the new perfection -Nick asks Louisa to marry him.
