Steve Dupree, an aspiring folksinger, sees his high school buddy
Vic Power as everything Dupree dreams of being: a self-assured
songwriter who hustles gigs out of thin air, relentlessly pursuing
the dream of stardom.
Bound by their love for music and the urge to see the world,
their paths cross again and again over ten years and two
continents. Their sometimes volatile musical partnership takes them
from the beaches of Southern California to the German Alps to the
canal-lined streets of Amsterdam and beyond. Along the way, Dupree
learns lessons about love, loyalty, courage, and, ultimately,
himself.
As part of the international hippie movement of the late sixties
and early seventies, Dupree and Power hop borders, dodge
authorities, and share casual drugs and fleeting love-while
tensions between the two threaten to tear their traveling band
apart.
As in his first novel, Avalon Summer, author David Matson Hooper
seeks to capture place and time in vivid language, illuminating
both the sunny ideals and the sometimes stormy realities of what it
means to spend seasons in the wind. Cover art work by Robert Schmid
and back cover photo by Karen Atha.
