Past Perfect is a heartwarming, magical story of an unexpected friendship spanning a century, penned by the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel.

Sybil and Blake Gregory lead a well-ordered, predictable life in Manhattan. Sybil is a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, while Blake is involved in high-tech investments. Together, they raise their children in a structured environment. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when Blake accepts his dream job as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco - a decision made without consulting Sybil. In a bold move, he purchases a magnificent, historic mansion as their new home in Pacific Heights.

Upon moving in, the past and present collide in their elegant mansion. The Gregorys encounter the large and lively family who lived there a century ago. Though long dead, the spirits are very much alive and visible only to the Gregorys. In these enchanted rooms, it is simultaneously the year 1917 and a century later. The Gregorys are presented with a perfect gift: an opportunity to connect with the past. But, they must consider if living in the past might hinder their ability to embrace the future.
