Although this book may seem a little slow and boring at first, keep reading! If you remember the Quantum Leap episode "Another Mother" and it touched you, this book will do the same, as it is a continuation of Al's promise to a little girl that someday, he'll come back to her. It has everything in it, from suspense to comedy, while still maintaining the important elements of a good Quantum Leap Novel. This book would make an excellent movie. Don't miss out!

This book was wonderful. I really liked the episode and the fact that there was this wonderfully written sequal...
There is too much to say and so little room. It's very inspirational.

This was the best QL book that I have read so far-I loved the story, and the author showed an expertise with staying true to the series that is always appreciated by fans. A definite must-read for QL fans and anyone who loves a good story-even if you haven't seen a single QL episode. Ms. Storm is very adept at filling in details without beating you over the head with them, so the non-fan will understand what is going on, and the rest of us can just sit back and remember the series without getting bored!

A great book that included some old favorites from the TV series. Storm did an excellent job with all the stories that were going on at once. A Must-Read book for all QL fans.

Elizabeth Storm has written another excellent book based on the Quantum Leap television series. In this one, she brings together characters from two different episodes, along with Admiral Al Calavicci and Dr. Sam Beckett, of course, and writes a wonderful story. Angelita (the Angel from It's a Wonderful Leap) and Teresa (from Another Mother) are back and there's trouble that only Sam and Al (with the doubtful help of Angelita) can fix. A MUST read for QL fans

As with all her books,Elizabeth Storm is sure to have come up with another winner. This time she is taking some of my favorite people and putting them into what has to be a great story. Al, The Angel from when Sam was a taxi driver and little Tresia all come together. Sparks are sure to fly between Al and The Angel. Fans of Quantum Leap will remember the way those two went at each other fighting over Sam the first time they met. I for one can't wait until this book is published.

If you're a fan of the televsion series Quantum Leap, this original Quantum Leap novel is the best of the bunch.

A sequel of sorts to the episode, "Another Mother," it provides an enjoyable follow-up to the classic episode.

Of all the Quantam Leap books I have read this one was the best. I simply could not put the 308 page (as small print equal to +- 500-700 pages long. Took 8 hours of non stop reading to finnish it Loved every minute of it even the twist ending

You would think being able to write a pre-existing character and doing it right, knowing what they would or would not say would be easy. But I've read books based on series' where you wonder if the author ever watched the show or read up on the characters or anything before taking the job (My main beef being with the Star Trek Voyager book Homecoming. Could barely get through the first few chapters. Truly aweful) But there are those, like the DS9 relaunch series of books and this book that truly capture the essence of the characters and you can picture them very vividly as they say their lines; as if you were watching it as a brand new episode, after all these years.
**(Spoilers)**
I gotta say, the ending was bitter-sweat. I would have preffered Terressa ending up working for the project, especially with them making a big deal about being this genius, akin to Sam. Sure, it would have had shades of Sami-Jo Fuller working for the project, but that just plays into the other coincidences and similarities with other leaps.
For some reason, I would have liked to have seen more happen with George; him being drugged and found passed out seemed, somehow, anti-climactic.
All and all, though, it was really well written. And I loved the running gag of Sam never getting to eat. You never really think about it and in a television show, seeing them eat or perform any other necessary vital functions (like sleeping; we never saw Sam have any down time in the show) and the author worked it in well and made it very real.
