Outlets have low output

I'm in a fairly new home - 1.5 years old. Two outlets in one room recently quit working. (The two outlets are fed by one line from the main panel.) With my voltmeter, I discovered these readings:
black wire to white wire - 74 volts
black wire to ground wire - 120 volts
white wire to ground wire - 21 volts

I was surprised to find any voltage at all at the outlets. Any explanation, or suggestions what to look at next?
Thanks.
