Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

For more than a decade, Jenna Metcalf has thought about her mother, Alice, who mysteriously disappeared in the wake of a tragic accident. Refusing to believe that her mother would abandon a young child, Jenna searches for her online and in the pages of her old journals. A scientist who studied grief among elephants, Alice wrote mostly of her research. Desperate to find the truth, Jenna enlists a psychic and a jaded private detective in her quest.
