Opis

ERROR PERPETUATED is the second book in the Stella McMillan seven-book Series. The Series is broken into two trilogies, plus a final book. The story weaves its way from the present time back to Australia of 1867 and, in particular, to Victorian Victoria. Much of the story is set in Melbourne and in the State of Victoria at that time. The theme of past lives is prevalent as Paula drifts back to a previous lifetime, which she experienced in Australia while her physical body is undergoing surgery in a hospital on the Gold Coast in Australia as the new 21st. century looms. As a visiting American woman, she knows little of Australian history and she has a busy life of her own back in Las Vegas. While her physical body is fighting for life, she experiences all of the grief and the joy of this previous existence in Victorian Victoria. She does not understand why the people in the Victorian saga seem so familiar to her. She knows them all so well. There are three women who are involved in different roles as they interact with one man, Charles Lyndhurst. He is a wealthy ship owner and these three women, Louisa, Sylvia and Elizabeth, are bound to him in the roles that they play out in this earlier time-frame. As Paula watches these events taking place on the Murray River in northern Victoria where the paddle-steamers are plying their trade, she is puzzled, because the places appear familiar to her, yet she has not visited the township of Echuca in this lifetime. She watches the steam trains departing from the rail head at Echuca en route to Melbourne. She studies the white mansion where Louisa is taken after her arranged marriage to Charles. The familiarity of it all intrigues her. Her present life recedes in her consciousness as she concentrates her full attention on the story of Louisa and Charles. With Charles' involvement with Sylvia occupying much of his time, Louisa is left to her own devices. Her involvement with a young man, Phillip Carstairs, brings matters to a head between the warring couple. The third book in the Stella McMillan Series is entitled: ERA of UNDERSTANDING.
