A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb
In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her. 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 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.Laura Whitcomb was raised in Pasadena, California, where she spent 12 years in a house that was somewhat haunted. She has worked as an English teacher in both California and Hawaii. She was the runner-up in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Prize for the finest first phrase of the worst science fiction novel ever written, and she has won three Kay Snow Writing Awards. She and her dog Maximus live in Portland, Oregon.
