LONE EAGLE by Danielle Steel

While reading this book I couldnt help it but I could relate. I am somehow close to Kate's character. However; I am 28 and my boyfriend is 4 years older than me. Same with Kate's parents my parents always wants the best for me and to protect me. Both of my parents believe that career first before marriage. In kate's situation her mom was the persuasive one.

To kate's mother she believes that after college her daughter should be married to a good man that can provide well. There is nothing wrong with her mother's intention.That is why, Joe Albright did his best to build his career before marrying kate. When Joe was able to built his success he soon married Kate. Kate wants more....... A baby..... their baby......

Kate suffered two miscarriage, one was when she was in college and theother was in a car accident after bringing her son to his ex-husband Andy to spend vacation.

It all begun......

For Kate jamison,Joe Albright was her first love. Althou ,Joe was 10 years older than kate. She fell in love with Joe Albright it was first love at first sight. Kate knew that Joe has his passion for planes and as well as designing them. At their first meet it was all clear that Joe does'nt want to get married and as well as dont want to have a child. But with their love for each other,Kate understand it at "first" not until Kate's parents knew about her relationship with Joe. Both kate's parents talked to Joe about their daughter's future. Joe said it will come still Kate's mother knows that Joe will not leave his passion over their daughters happiness. To kate all she knew that she love Joe so much and he means the world to her. When Kate went to college they agreed to write to each other letters from time to time. Till they both fell in love eventhough, they were always separated to each the flame was still present. Joe was called by his mentor to serve his country,it was war then.,Kate didnt hear from Joe from almost two years. Despite her mother's bribery and Andy Scott's conviction that Joe might be dead. Kate knew that Joe was still alive. While Joe left again for war. Again kate was lonely, she almost hadn't heard from Joe again for another two years. Because of her loneliness she accepted Andy's proposal and they got engage. Kate and Andy got married and was blessed to have a son named Reed.

During that time Andy need to leave for four months for his work. It was wheels fate that Joe meets Kate again. The feeling was still there and kate suddenly forgot about Andy all along. Kate and Joe agreed to get married after Kate's divorce with Andy.It was probably kate's last minute plan. Despite all Kate's effort to convince Andy to give and agree on a divorce. Andy did his best to keep kate and his family. He went to see Joe and made up all the possible stories he could. Andy knew that Joe has weakness when things gets complicated. Kate still insisted Andy for a divorce but still andy's ear and eyes was wide shut.

It was only then Andy set kate free,when stephanie was born. It was Andy who filed the divorce and they both agree. After Kate's divorce the two lovers got married. But life with Joe for kate was sad. Joe always needs to travel all over the world, for Joe his passion for planes and his empire business was his life. The more Joe leave kate the more kate became suspicious about Joe. Joe was too busy with his passion with planes and his airline business.Joe got tired with all their fight and asked kate the permission to set him free and kate did.Joe couldn't juggle two things in hi life planes and kate.

After two years without seeing Joe and filled their separation Joe still have feelings for her so they agreed for the last time to continue their relationship and to work it out.

The ending was tragic,because Joe Albright died very old by testing his newly built plane....

"when you love someone set him free"

and when he comes back to you then it is meant to be.

Its not a crime to love someone,its not bad to love someone more.

I am in a relationship and until now I keep on learning how to understand my partner. I know we are both different and I know what his passion are. I do love him, yes we fight but that's normal. And how do we deal with our shortcomings? we talked and work on our relationship.

That's all for my 2nd book review.

as I say its always a different experience when you open the book the first time! and Ofcourse I have lots of time!!!

THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN by Mitch Albom

Ever wonder? Where our body goes after we die? or ever asked those peole who experience near death to share those stories going into the light? Are you brave enough to think who would welcome you when you get to heaven? or are you just the same as me who wonders who I am going to meet when I go to heaven.

After reading the book by Mitch Albom I thought of some question. If I die? am I going to meet the people close in my life?, a person who risk his life by saving me during my time on earth,or a person would teach me a "LESSON I NEVER KNEW UNTIL,I FINALLY REALIZE"or creepy the last person I met before I die or someone so innocent....

Eddie is been known as the Maintenance guy that works at Ruby Pier.Since the day he was born till he dies his story revolves on Ruby Pier.When Eddie dies He meet five people that would teach him the greatest lesson on why he ever live and the most important lessons we should all know.

FIRST PERSON: The BLUE MAN- from the canival. Poinsoned himself with Silver nitrate. He was despised by his father whom works in a factory. He run away fom home till some people from the carnival discovered him. He died after the near accident of eddie when eddie was still young. He's Fod model-A crash on three and was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. He thought eddie that things happens for a reason and it cannot be separated like a "wind from the breeze"

SECOND PERSON: THE CAPTAIN- Eddie's Superior in the Army during war. They were four men included during their captivity in the Philippines during the war. The Capatain thought eddie the wisdom to never leave someone behind and to sacrifice whether small or big. They were able to escape from their captors while eddie was showing how to juggle the ball in his hands. Which eddie knew while he was raised at Ruby Pier. In order to reataliate,they plan to burn the whole nipa hut where they were being tortured night and day. While burning the Nipa hut eddie was caught on a figure inside as if somebody was their but due to the smoke he can't see the image very clearly..... till he was being shot on his left leg and was brought to the hospital. Wpon arrival at the hospital the captain was caught by a coal mine that he accidentally stepped on and cleave him into pieces.

THIRD PERSON: RUBY ( the owner of the Ruby Pier)- Fell in love with Emile. Emile his husband wanted to give her a gift which was the Amusement Park named after her. Rubby told eddie how the pier was caught on fire and how his husband went down into depression state. Ruby was the only person to see how eddie's father died and how hos mother died. Ruby wanted eddie to forgive his parents and the HATE IS POISONOUS and it destroys as well as it cripples the mond of the person. When eddie's fathere died eddie went back to Ruby Pier with his wife to take care of his mom which was depredd due to his father's death. Eddie got the position of his father at uby Pier and for his entire life Eddie's life was bound to at Ruby Pier.

FOURTH PERSON: MARGUERITE- Eddie's wife: Eddie only one true love from his chilhood.They were married simply in a Chinese Restaurant with bands that played.After they got married they never had a chance to have a child. They were also hesitant to adopt. Marguerite became ill after the car accident and was lately diagnosed to have cancer. She died. Lesson leaned: " LOVE LAST EVEN THE PERSON DIES,LOVE DOES NOT DIES" that's why we have memories to keep the peson we love in our hearts.

FIFTH PERSON: TALA ( meaning star) a young filipino child girl- She died inside the Nipa hut that eddie burned during the war. Eddie didnt know that he accidentaly killed the girl during their rage against their captors during the war. The child forgive eddie for his mistake and taught eddie to forgive

It just took me three days to read the book and reveal the five people eddie meet in heaven. The story was touchy and sad. I would recommend this book in a book report. The story is similar to Charles Dickens novel A Christmas Carol, however the character in this novel died before he meets the five people who taught him five greatest lesson....
