Danielle Steel's fifty-first bestselling novel tells the story of an extraordinary man, the woman who loved him, and a bond so powerful it could never be broken. It is about locating the courage to let someone you love fly free....
The phone call came over a snowy December afternoon. Kate was certain it was Joe, the brilliant, visionary man who was simply her soulmate, her driving force because the night they met, almost thirty-four years before. What she got was the main one call she had never wanted, and didn't expect.
As the snow continued to fall, Kate's mind drifted back, to as soon as when she and Joe first met. She had been just seventeen and he was young, powerful, dazzling, and various from any man she'd ever known.
It was just days before Christmas, 1940. The war is raging in Europe when Kate Jamison makes her debut in New York City. In a room filled with the scions of East Coast society and the best political figures of your day, it is Joe Allbright who catches Kate's eye.
At twenty-nine, Joe is the brilliant prot?g? of Charles Lindbergh, and already a legend in flying circles for his record-breaking speed and state-of-the-art airplane designs. All Kate sees is a tall, strikingly handsome man who seems simultaneously awkward and larger-than-life, such as a shining star -- just out of reach. Joe, too, is caught off balance by his response to Kate, seeing in this beautiful young woman vitality and youth, the lifelong soulmate he never likely to find.
As the months pass, they'll meet again, forging a bond that will set the course of both their lives. Kate will go off to review at Radcliffe. Joe will skyrocket to fame in modern aviation. Joe's planes are his life, his passion. But irresistibly drawn to her, like moth to flame, he always comes back to Kate. Even after the long, dark many years of World War II, when Kate was sure she had finally lost him completely, Joe returns. Never willing to remain, always needing to fly away. As planes are for him, Joe is the passion in her life.
When the war has ended, at twenty-four Kate wants marriage and a family. Joe wants the globe, his limitless horizons, and the unique aviation empire he is building. Unwilling to hold back any more, Kate moves on with her life. However when a chance come across brings them together again, the time has finally come to produce a choice, the one which will have profound consequences for the coffee lover both for the others of these lives.
Against a vivid backdrop of war and thrilling innovation, Danielle Steel breathes life into history, weaving an intensely human story that spans three decades, of two intensely differing people who, regardless of themselves, are irrevocably woven in to the fabric of every other's lives. With rare insight and emotional power, she brings to life a tale of unconditional love, sacrifice, and compromise--the joining of two remarkable halves into a single, far more powerful whole. It is a novel of extraordinary grace and compassion from a master storyteller, perhaps the best story she has told.
