Jenna leter etter moren sin som er sporløst forsvunnet. Moren var en forsker på elefanter. Jenna får hjelp av en synsk kvinne som har mistet evnene sine, og en privatetterforsker som en gang har vært politi. I boken veksler synsvinkelen mellom disse fire personene. Det er mye fakta om elefanter i morens del av historien. Etter som tråder nøstes opp blir det mange uventede vendinger, og tempoet øker en del. Men for meg ble denne boken litt for mye av alt. Terningkast 3. Helt grei underholdning. For rett leser tror jeg dette kan være en medrivende og rørende fortelling. Spesielt hvis man liker elefanter.. Og overnaturlige evner!

I always get the funniest expressions from colleagues when I tell them that the best scientists understand that 2-3 percent of whatever it is they are studying is simply not quantifiable - it may be magic or aliens or random variance, none of which can be truly ruled out. If we are to be honest as scientists ... we must admit there may be a few things that we are not supposed to know.
Dreaming is the closest the average human gets to the paranormal plane; it's the time when the mind lets down its guard and the walls get thin enough for there to be glimpses to the other side.
You might live on top of the biggest toxic waste dump on the planet, but if you never dig, then all you ever know is that your grass is green and your garden is lush.
If you are a mother, you must have someone to take care of.
If that someone is taken from you, whether it is a newborn or an individual old enough to have offspring of its own, can you still call yourself a mother?
