Dupre's Song

Although his efforts are noble, he soon finds himself experiencing the horror of war and the duality of his own nature. Julia Viator is a beautiful woman often driven to imposing her will. Her competitive spirit has motivated her to success all of her life, at any price. Now she must face a challenge of her own design that may drive her to madness and destroy her family. Caesar Antoine is a runaway slave whose dearest friend from childhood was Dupre Hulin. Now in the Union Army, he will only be able to gauge the depth of his contempt for his former enslavers when he unexpectedly finds Dupre in his rifle sights. From the horror of the battlefields of Civil War Louisiana to the triumph of human resolve in the face of tremendous adversity, Dupre's Song is an affirmation of the frailty, brutality and generosity of the human spirit.
