They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now. And Helen—terrified, but intrigued—is drawn to him. The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge. But as the lovers in this supernatural love story struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.
