Jack saw the ground rushing up to meet him. He glanced fleetingly at Katie Beth's picture and whispered, 'Forgive me, ' as he tried to level her out before she hit. Only able to pull the massive plane up slightly, he knew the landing was going to be rough. Too rough. 'God, help me.' Jack and Katie Beth have been friends their whole lives, but they are the last to realize they are in love. When they go to their senior high school dance separately but leave together, no one else is surprised in the least. What does surprise them, however, are the choices Jack and Katie Beth make after the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor.
