Specific passage

Comment:

Hello! Which Alice book has the scene where Alice finds something of her mother’s (or maybe it’s when Aunt Sally sends her the locket?) and then she is hit with that gut feeling of missing her mother. She later asked her dad about the feeling, and he said something along the lines of, “it’s called longing. It’s called missing someone.” I remember that being an exceptionally moving passage I read, and I’ve saved all my Alice books and I’d basically just like to be able to go back and re-read that passage. I’ve been thumbing through the books but that’s feeling like a needle-in-the-haystack search. Any help tracking down the passage I’m looking for?

I don’t know which book that is, and there are 28 books in the series!  Somewhere in this website, there is supposed to be an “Alice bible,” they call it in editorial language, where each book is described by its highlights.  I can’t tell you right off where that is, but if you go back to the opening page of the website and look at the different categories along the top, you might find something that sounds like a summary of each book.  Perhaps you could find the passage you’re looking for that way.
