White doves at morning (Broché)

This passionate novel of men, women and war is peopled with the most memorable characters James Lee Burke has ever created : Confederate soldier Willie Burke, who refuses to let go of his ideals ; Mulatto Flower Jamison, a victim of terrible abuse, but determined to better herself ; the cruel and unfeeling Colonel Ira Jamison ; and Abigail Dowling, whose Unionist sympathies put her in constant danger.
