In an odd and serene moment, she wondered how something so bright and actually beautiful, such a vibrant red, a colour synonymous with passion, romance and love, the colour of blood, of life, could also be the colour of so much appalling devastation. Sent south to the Snowy mountains to work on his Cousin Jack's farm, George Sutherland finds himself fighting for a beautiful woman, his job and ultimately his life. He is driven to breaking point as he is made to question his own reality, if he is worthy of the job and ultimately, the family name. Maggie Jones can't control falling in love, but the shift in her relationships will cause more devastation than she will ever know. Red Ember Storm is the continuing story of Jack and Rosie Sutherland in the South West Slopes of NSW, following on from Snowy Ridge – The Sutherland Family
