Abstract:
"For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has never stopped thinking about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident when Jenna was only three years old. Refusing to believe that her mother would have abandoned her, Jenna pores over the pages of Alice's old journals, which yield few clues. Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists two allies in her quest: Serenity Jones, a psychic, and Virgil Stanhope, the jaded private detective who originally investigated Alice's case. As the unlikely threesome begin to piece together what happened to Alice, Jenna's memories start to dovetail with the events in her mother's journals, revealing a series of events far more shocking than any of them could have ever predicted."-- Provided by publisher.
