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.
As planes are for him, Joe is the passion in her lif.
Never willing to stay, always needing to fly away.
Even after the long, dark years of World War II, when Kate was sure she had finally lost him completely, Joe returns.
But irresistibly drawn to her, like moth to flame, he always comes back to Kate.
Joe\'s planes are his life, his passion.
Joe will skyrocket to fame in modern aviation.
Kate will go off to study at Radcliffe.
As the months pass, they will meet again, forging a bond that will set the course of both their lives.
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 expected to find.
All Kate sees is a tall, strikingly handsome man who seems at once awkward and larger-than-life, like a shining star -- just out of reach.
At twenty-nine, Joe is the brilliant protege of Charles Lindbergh, and already a legend in flying circles for his record-breaking speed and state-of-the-art airplane designs.
In a room filled with the scions of East Coast society and the leading political figures of the day, it is Joe Allbright who catches Kate\'s eye.
The war is raging in Europe when Kate Jamison makes her debut in New York City.
It was just days before Christmas, 1940.

As the snow continued to fall, Kate\'s mind drifted back, to the moment when she and Joe first met.
What she got was the one call she had never wanted, and didn\'t expect.
Kate was certain it was Joe, the brilliant, visionary man who had been her soulmate, her driving force since the night they met, almost thirty-four years before.
The phone call came on a snowy December afternoon.
It is about finding the courage to let someone you love fly free....
