Leaving time

Picoult, Jodi 1966- (Author).

Summary: Alice Metcalf was a devoted mother, loving wife, and accomplished scientist who studied grief among elephants. Yet it's been a decade since she disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind her small daughter, husband, and the animals to which she devoted her life. All signs point to abandonment... or worse. Still Jenna -- now thirteen years old and truly orphaned by a father maddened by grief -- steadfastly refuses to believe in her mother's desertion. So she decides to approach the two people who might still be able to help her find Alice: a disgraced psychic named Serenity Jones and Virgil Stanhope, the cynical detective who first investigated her mother's disappearance and the death of one of her mother's co-workers. Together these three lonely souls will discover truths destined to forever change their lives.

For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has thought about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident. Refusing to believe that her mother would abandon a young child, Jenna searches for her online and in the pages of her old journals. A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research. Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists a psychic and a jaded private detective in her quest.
