On page 100, Alice talks about the two elephants, Owala and Durgal/ Felicia and Natch. They led a really hardcore tribe of elephants, but when they were visited by a former trainer, they became completely docile and acted like they would act in the training environment. They almost had two personalities, and the personalities were activated by their surroundings.
All this points to Alice having some sort of disconnect to her former life. I think she has amnesia, which explains why she's not going back to her daughter, or making any attempt to contact her. She is disconnected because of amnesia.
