Voices from the Past Josephine A. Smith

Michelle Allison is a tall brunette of twenty-six. She is the proud owner of an antique shop and has built up a nice clientele for herself. Her private life is marred by dreams that have haunted her for years. They intensify in hallucinogenic leaks during the day and appear also at night in an ethereal voyage on the doomed ship Titanic. During her frantic search for a link between her dreams and reality, she happens upon a message written on a napkin left in her grandmother's trunk, which notes that is was written on the Titanic and ironically dated April 15, 1912, the day of the great liner's demise. The next day she notices an article in the newspaper about a lecture on Genetic Memory. Professor Matt Sommerfield, the speaker, more than resembles the Matthew of her dreams. They meet in a French restaurant the next morning. The French ambiance sends Michelle into a somnambular trance. The solving of Michelle's connection to the Titanic only leads the reader deeper into Michelle's French background as her Egyptian past threads its needle through her life. Read and find out what common thread binds these actual historical events to one another.
