Haunted by his past, he finds help while investigating a mysterious phenomenon that is overwhelming the world’s elephant population. A Persistent Memory explores the unexpected virtues of grief, the impact of childhood memories, and how sometimes meeting the right people at the right time can change our lives forever.
