"Leaving Time" by Jodi Picoult





Alice is a scientist studying elephants in South Africa. The African plains come before your eyes with the elephants, lions and other animals that live there in the wild. Alice knows the elephants by name just by looking at their ears or other body markings. Each elephant has a personality and they have beautiful interactions within the herd. Hear the sounds the elephants make. See the way the mother takes care of her infant. To me, it's a sight to behold.

This is a story that makes your emotions go wild. You learn about elephants. You learn about human nature and the need for certain individuals to do more than just observe.

This is a story about a little girl who is searching for her mom who left her after an accident when she was just a young child.

"Leaving Time" is about how love and hope help you go on until you find what you are looking for.


Hold onto your tissues. I cried and had to take time to embrace the story. What a GREAT book! Pick up a copy today!
