6/6/2023 0 Comments The Wall by Ashley McConnellJane is having problems holding on, and those stressors culminate into abusing alcohol and physically and verbally hurting her children, even though she loves them desperately. Missy’s father, the Major, is on assignment, so everything falls to Jane to keep her family in line, keep a good impression with the other officers’ wives, and be prepared to respond to the air horn alert for evacuation. Missy lives in apartment quarters with her brother Tom and their mother, Jane. The Wall is being built, and the threat of nuclear war is an ever-present reality. Sam leaps into Missy, a six-year-old girl (something that couldn’t have been pulled off believably in the series) in 1961 in Germany. Ashley McConnell turns in another Quantum Leap novel, and except for a quick moment when we are given another limbo moment for Sam between leaps it is a really powerful tale about domestic abuse, alcoholism and breaking the cycle.
