1951 Jennifer Stone inherits the home and fortune of Elizabeth Windom White, a famous writer she has met only once.

In the house she finds an unknown book called A Place in Time written in 1912 and dedicated to her greatly adding to the mystery since Jennifer wasn't born till 1915.

The book is about the future and is written with a suspicious degree of accuracy as if Mrs. White has actually been there.

The Question of Time tells the story of how a person's present circumstances can sometimes compel them to look to the past for answers.
