It is the dawn of the twentieth century. Three young women from a small town look foward to writing their own stories on its blank canvas. With the enthusiasm and naivety of youth, they foresee only that it will be a century of great promise and progress, one that will positively build on the achievements of its predecessor.
In the dying days of 1899, Edith Steins, Wilma Fredricks and Rose Miller agree to meet on the first day of the twentieth century to compile a list of predictions. They then determine to meet on the same day in 1920, 1950 and 1970, to see which have come to pass. While many of their predictions deal with inventions and improvements for the world in general, some are personal. A complicating factor is that they are all secretly in love with the same man, James McIlvray - handsome, wealthy and charismatic. Yet James is a dangerously flawed individual. Which, if any, of these young women will marry him?
'Predictions' follows Edith, Wilma, Rose and James as their lives are shaped and buffeted by the events that defined the tumultuous twentieth century. One will live to see their own century, but who will that be?
