This companion novel to A Certain Slant of Light examines Jenny and Billy's relationship--both the ethereal and the corporeal. As the two struggle to make sense of their lives after spirits Helen and James borrowed their bodies, Helen complicates things by trying to reconnect with Jenny. Whitcomb's ghostly love story reworks the first book's themes, but fans may welcome this second visitation.
