Description

You can guess from the inclusion of the character Serenity that there is a paranormal dimension to this story.

I learned to track elephants by footprint, to tell them apart, and to observe their behavior and mannerisms. As a firm non-believer in the paranormal this bothered me at first but as the book progressed I found myself suspending my disbelief and accepting Serenity and her former powers.

The UN has created a resolution saying that poaching fuels instability in countries, and President Obama banned ivory trade in the US.

The subject matter, elephants and the issues of psychic powers an afterlife, have never been of interest for me but I thought I'd like it nonetheless, having been leant it by my best friend. Approximately one year after she arrived in LA, she was found dead in the bottom of the enclosure’s pool. Meeting these elephants in the wild and in sanctuaries really hammered home for me the damage done to elephants in captivity. However, Owalla got bitten by a hippo 16 years later and couldn’t be anesthetized for medical reasons.I wouldn’t characterize myself as a tree hugger but I do love the natural beauty of the great outdoors and have a passion for observing the flora and fauna of my environment.

I was thinking a lot of how we humans raise our kids to be self sufficient enough to leave us – and how depressing it was for those who were left behind.Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two unlikely allies in her quest: Serenity Jones, a psychic who rose to fame finding missing persons, only to later doubt her gifts, and Virgil Stanhope, the jaded private detective who'd originally investigated Alice's case along with the strange, possibly linked death of one of her colleagues. Please use a spoiler tag if you'd like to comment on anything that could ruin someone else's reading experience. Virgil is a broken man, plagued by troubles with the bottle, but in the end agrees to work with Jenna and Serenity to find the missing Alice Metcalf and end his despondency over his incompetence and failure in the initial investigation. It seems a small, very angry and vocal Gooodreads mob of reviewers absolutely HATE this book and let their opinions be heard in no uncertain terms.

Then my boyfriend Mark Deakins came on the scene and gave his voice to Virgil, the detective who was one of the last to see Alice before she became a missing person. I don't have much knowledge about psychics or the ESP world in general, but I found this an interesting addition to the story. As others have mentioned, there is a twist, and I was on the bus when my jaw literally crashed off the floor. Maybe I would have tried to memorize the smell of bug spray on my mother’s skin, or the way she absent-mindedly braided my hair, tying it off on the end with a stalk of green grass.acres of wooded hills, valleys, ponds, creeks and a lake are available to these elephants, retired from circuses and zoos. The cast of characters was quite the motley crew of misfits, but I grew to love them all individually. The point of zoos was to develop breeding programs and more importantly to encourage conservation of animals that might not be indigenous to a country. The last quarter gets more into the story and less into the comparisons of elephant to human, and does pick up, how ever Picoult always throws in an unseen twist, and this one did not leave me going, no way!
