About Jodi Picoult’s newest book, Leaving Time
Deeply moving and suspenseful, Leaving Time is a radiant exploration of the enduring love between mothers and daughters. Alice Metcalf, a devoted mother and accomplished scientist who studied grief among elephants, disappears, leaving behind her small daughter, husband, and the animals to which she devoted her life. A decade later, Alice’s now thirteen-year-old daughter, Jenna, refuses to believe her mother chose to desert her, enlisting Serenity Jones and Virgil Stanhope to help her—a disgraced psychic, and the cynical detective who first investigated her mother’s disappearance. Together these three lonely souls will discover truths destined to forever change their lives.
