Description

This week Stephanie assigned Hannah Leaving Time by popular novelist Jodi Picoult. Hannah is skeptical about the often touchy-feely nature of Picoult’s writing. Will she hate it as much as she and Stephanie both think she will?

Jenna Metcalf is thirteen and doesn’t know if her mother Alice is alive or dead. She hasn’t seen Alice since was three, on the day of a tragic accident at her parents’ elephant sanctuary that resulted in the death of one worker and her father’s permanent mental collapse. Now Jenna enlists the help of two unlikely allies, a disgraced psychic named Serenity and an ex-cop turned private detective named Virgil. Join Hannah and Stephanie as they discuss this novel and their own views on everything from grief and memory to elephants and motherhood.
