The #1 New York Times and national bestseller, Jodi Picoult delivers the gripping story of a daughter searching for her missing mother.
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 13 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 2 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 strange, possibly linked death of 1 of her mother''s co-workers. Together these 3 lonely souls will discover truths destined to forever change their lives. Deeply moving and suspenseful, Leaving Time is a radiant exploration of the enduring love between mothers and daughters.
