In "Past Perfect, Present Tense" by Richard Peck, readers are introduced to a unique narrative set in a historical home that acts as a portal between past and present. The story revolves around a young woman, who finds herself grappling with family tensions and the weight of her own identity while uncovering the lives of those who lived in the house before her. As she navigates her relationships and personal challenges, the rich history of the home influences her journey, prompting her to reflect on the connections between past events and her present circumstances, ultimately leading to self-discovery and growth.
