A family band’s public success and private fractures

Epic Dupree’s departure from The Duprees marks a break with both her family and the music that once defined her life. A decade later, pressure for a reunion brings that history back into view, placing the possibility of renewed public success beside unresolved harm. Set against the world of a charting family band, the novel connects music and celebrity with family deception, abuse, gaslighting, and the difficult question of whether time can ease old wounds.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction about family relationships and painful histories.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving music careers, fame, and the prospect of a reunion.

Book overview

Epic Dupree played along . . . until she couldn't.

 

Everyone thought The Duprees were the perfect family band.

But behind the Billboard chart successes were the family lies, behind those lies were the abuse and gaslighting, and then came the ultimate upending.

And so Epic left her home and her music in Savannah, Georgia, in search of a new city and a new life. She didn't want to sing again. She couldn't. She folded up her voice in a packing box, labeled it miscellaneous, and put it in her storage locker.

Now, ten years later, Epic's manager reaches out because the fans haven't forgotten about The Duprees. People want a reunion. They need one. The money could be amazing. But what about the wounds?

Ten years is long enough to heal the pain.

Well, isn't it?

Joan Bauer is a New York Times best-selling author, screenwriter, songwriter, and speaker who has won numerous awards for her novels.
