Leaving Time: A Novel by Jodi Picoult

Trivia-on-Book: Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult. This is a mystery about a 13 year old girl who is looking for her mother that disappeared when she was three years old. She uses her scientist mother's journals to look for clues and teams up with a washed up psychic and an old private detective that worked on her mother's case a decade ago and now drinks a little too much for his own good. The trio find many questions instead of answers, and some of those questions are a bit hard to answer easily, seeming to intersect with the research in the journals concerning elephant behavior and grief.
