I read Lone Eagle by Danielle Steel for at least 90 minutes. Kate returned to school and she and Joe continued to write to each other. Kate's day was going just fine until she received a phone call from her father. She was very worried because Clarke never called Kate at school. She was worried when she took the call. She thought something had happened to her mother. Kate was right to be worried. Clarke was calling her to tell her that Joe was missing in action. His plane had been shot down over Germany and he had not been found.
Of course, Kate was worried about Joe but school and life had to go on. In May, Kate graduated with her parents and Andy attending. Kate wasn't sure what to do with her summer so she went to work for the Red Cross again that summer. It had been 21 months since Joe was reported MIA when he was found. He was found in a German war camp. Kate worked for the Red Cross so she was able to meet the ship that Joe was on. He was weak and had broken legs but he was still alive. Joe spent two months in the hospital recovering and then he went to stay with Kate's parents.
After his recovery, Joe was honorably discharged from the service and was ready to go on with his life. Clarke was curious if his futute involved Kate. Clarke wanted Joe and Kate to get engaged but Joe was not ready for that yet. He was starting a job in New Jersey and knew he wouldn't have time for Kate right now. He could have her in his life but he was not ready to be married. Kate wanted to be close to Joe and she would visit him often in New Jersey. They didn't like this arrangement so while everyone thought Kate was living in a hotel, she was really living with Joe. Joe had told Kate about the talk he and Clarke had had about Kate. Clarke had told Joe he was going to lose Kate if he didn't marry her. Kate let Joe know that there was no chance of that happening. She loved him.

For more than 90 minutes, on October 23,2011, I read Danielle Steel's Lone Eagle.
We ended off with Joe and Kate saying good-bye as the United States has just entered the second world war and Joe is going England to be a fighter pilot.
It was a grim Christmas and Kate was missing Joe. She stayed in at her parents house during the holiday away from school. Her good friend Andy (he wanted to be more) tried to get her to go out but she felt she was being unfaithful to Joe.
Kate went back to school in January and filled her days with classes. She would fill her evenings writing to Joe or having dinner with Andy in the cafeteria. She and Andy were becoming close friends.
The months went by and the war went on. In May, Andy graduated from Harvard on his way to law school. Kate took a summer job with the red cross and Andy worked at the hospital.
Kate continued her work with the Red Cross until the last two weeks of summer which she spent with her parents in the Cape. As she was standing by the campfire one night remembering the year before when Joe showed up there, a familiar voice sounded beside her. It was Joe and he was on two weeks leave.
As well as Kate, Clark and Liz were happy to see Joe home safe. They invited him to stay with them in Boston as Kate had to be returning to school. Kate and Joe had a wonderful time during his stay. They knew they loved each other and that was all that mattered. Clark and Liz wanted to know what he intended and he told them he loved her but would not marry her to make her a widow. Kate understood this and she was happy with what she had. It was September of 1942 and they had two wonderful weeks together and then said good bye as Joe left for England.
The war and school went on. Joe was flying into Washington to receive a medal and he took Kate to the Whitehouse with him to receive it. They met up in Washington at the same hotel, separate rooms. It was three days before Christmas.
After the ceremony, they stayed in the hotel lobby talking until it got to cold to stand. They knew they could trust each other so they went up to Joe's room to continue talking. It was warmer up there. One thing led to another and they stayed the night together. Neither one was sorry but it had to stay their secret. Joe left for England the next day.
The war went on and Kate went bacl to school. Kate had been sick for the last few months and everyone was worried about her. She wouldn't see a doctor and she said she had the flu but, she knew that she was pregnant. She didn't tell Joe because she didn't want to worry him. She told no one else for obvious reasons. Kate wasn't sure what to do at first. She knew she would have to leave school and her parents would be disappointed. She did know that she loved Joe and wanted to have his baby.
Kate was three months pregnant when she was hit and knocked unconcious by somebody on a bicycle. Besides the pain and the bruising, she lost her baby that night. Two of her roommates figured out what was happening to her and helped her. She didn't tell her parents or anyone else what had happened.
Kate finished her term at school and worked for the Red Cross again for the summer. Of course the last two weeks were spent in the Cape. This time there was no Joe but life went on.
It's October now and Kate is back in school when she has a visitor; it's Joe. He had to be in Washington on business and has 24 hours to spend with her. They go to a hotel and register as husband and wife. Kate decides to use birth control and she tells Joe about the baby she lost.
They spend a wonderful evening and morning together. Joe takes Kate back to school and off to Washington he goes.

Kate has started at Radcliffe and Joe has gone to California to work on his planes. Kate has promised to write Joe and she does. She writes to him of the goings on at school and her world. She is feeling more and more for Joe as he is for her although, neither one of them will admit it.
Just before Kate is to go home for Thanksgiving break, she receives a call from Joe. He has told her that he has flown east to do some consulting with Charles Lindbergh and will be in the area for a few days. Knowing this, Kate asks Joe to fly to Boston from New York to have dinner with her and her family. Joe has noone else to spend the holidays with and he wants to see Kate so, he accepts.
Kate and Joe seem inseperable over the holidays. The day after Thanksgiving, Joe has a surprise for Kate; he takes her to see his plane. Kate is very interested and fascinated with his plane that he offers to take her flying. She can't believe it but she says yes as long as they keep it a secret and don't tell her mother. Kate has a memorable time on her flight and she and Joe seem to care more and more about each other the more time they spend together. Joe has to return to California and Kate to school so they say their good byes.
Kate is back in school and she and Joe still write and he even calls her occasionally. It is getting close to Christmas and Kate's parents are giving her a debutantes ball just before Christmas. Kate wants to ask Joe, she is just waiting for the right time. It doesn't seem to come.
Kate is talking with her mother on the phone when everyone in the dorm goes into a panic. Pearl Harbor has just been bombed by Japan. Joe calls Kate and tells her the knews and that he has to be in Washington and then he is off to England to join the war effort; pilots are always needed.
Joe and Kate are only able to spend 9 hours together before he has to leave. They spend the day talking and enjoying each others company. Finally, Kate tells Joe she loves him. He said that he did not want that to happen because he didn't want her to sit and wait on him in case he didn't come back. He doesn't say I love you back. They go to the airport and it is time for Joe to leave. He kisses Kate good bye and heads to board the plane. Just before he does, he shouts out to Kate that he loves her.

October 9, 2011, I read Lone Eagle by Danielle Steel for more than 90 minutes.
The story starts on a December day almost exactly 34 years after Kate and Joe met. Kate is sitting around thinking about her husband (Joe) when the phone rings; she thinks it is Joe. He is a test pilot and is away in California. It is not Joe, it is his assistant. He has called to tell Kate that there has been an accident and Joe's plane exploded over Albuquerque and he is dead. Kate is devastated by her husbands death. She sits and thinks of him and remembers the day they met.
Go back 34 years. Kate Jamison and Joe Allbright are at the same debutante's ball. Kate is there with her parents, Clark and Elizabeth Jamison. Clark adopted Kate after he married her mother a year after Kate's father had committed suicide after the stock market crash. Neither Clark's nor Elizabeth's finances were affected in the crash so, Kate lived a comfortable life. Joe came to the party with his good friend and partner Charles Lindbergh.
Kate and Joe bumped into each other at the buffet table and sat and talked for two hours. Joe learned that Kate was waiting to be accepted to Radcliffe and that she was from a wealthy family and that she was only 17 years old. Kate learned that Joe was a pilot, that he had been raised by cousins and had an awful childhood, and that he was 29 years old. Joe and Kate had a wonderful time getting to know each other and Joe had promised to take Kate flying if her parents would allow it. Kate introduced Joe to her father. Clark was a big fan of Joes and told him he was more famous than he thought. Joe told Clark of the offer to fly them and they all said their good byes as Joe has to leave for California for work.
Eight months later, Kate and her family are spending their summer at the Cape. Kate has thought about Joe constantly but he has never called. At a campfire on the beach, Joe and Kate run into each other and it's just as if they have been friends forever. They catch up with each other on what they have been doing and decide to take a walk on the beach. They are gone for quite a while enjoying each others company. Each has feelings for the other but neither will admit it. Joe has thought of Kate just as often as he has him.
Kate is going to be off to school and Joe will be back in California. Joe asks Kate to write and she says she will. She thinks Joe just wants to be friends.
