An excellent read from an excellent writer. Leaving Time has a fantastic twist at the end which I will NOT reveal. It's hard to review this story without telling you what happens, but it will be worth it not to know. Jenna's Mom is an elephant researcher. She disappeared when Jenna was three years old and this is the story of a young teen's search for the truth, for her Mom, all-the-while entwined in an elephant's trunk. The richness of the elephant's matriarchal society echoes the love and loss Jenna feels for her own mother. Mourning and grieving have never before presented such an optimistic view on death.
