More About This Title Scout's Honor
English
A story of a self, lost...
A self, loathed...
And a self, rediscovered.
In Haddleboro, North Carolina, Scout Webb is a 14 year-old kind, spirited small town southern girl and a tomboy much like her namesake, the young narrator from her mother’s favorite book. With both her name and her Christian faith deeply woven into the fabric of her identity, Scout always felt like she had a lot to live up to - she was the kind of girl who made her parents proud.
It's August 1983, and Scout is playing on a summer baseball team with Charlie Porter, her best friend since kindergarten. More than anything, she is looking forward to her last few weeks at Camp Judah, a Christian camp near the Catawba River. She can’t wait to see her big crush “Brother Doug,” the thirty-two year old camp lifeguard who has watched her grow up each summer since she was seven years old. But after afateful few days and one catastrophic event during her last day at the camp, Scout will be changed forever.

"Scout's Honor thoroughly engages us from the moment we first meet the engaging Scout Webb, a sort of female Holden Caulfield whose lifelong struggles with love make a compelling read and teach us much. First-time novelist Dori Ann Dupré does a terrific job telling her story through an array of interesting characters while demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a true gift for exploring the joys, heartbreaks, complexities and deep truths of human relationships. Scout's Honor will capture your heart."
~ Mark Ethridge, author of Grievances and Fallout, screenwriter for Deadline and two-time Pulitzer Prize for Public Service recipient as managing editor of the Charlotte Observer
"It’s almost impossible for readers to hear the voice of a young girl named Scout without thinking wistfully of Harper Lee’s plucky heroine from To Kill A Mockingbird."
~ The US Review of Books, First Chapter Reviews
"Dori Ann Dupré crafted this tale that followed the life of Scout Webb, quite delicately. Her use of first person narrative of the main characters drove the story and revealed all the coming of age, humor, heart-break and often horrendously real situations in such a unique way. Each voice was captured well and you could feel each of their triumphs or pains as they were unfolding. I commend her choices to give us this story in this way. This is a bold debut and you will feel the gambit of emotions as you turn the pages."
~ Mike Hansen, author of When Life Hands You a Lemon
"It’s more than just the story of a teenage her girl struggling with self-discovery, it is the tale of how she evolves into the woman she grows up to become. Dori is amazing with words, and maybe there is deeper meaning to this story than is apparent on the outside."

"Dori Ann Dupré is one of those authors who write so well you forget you’re reading. She brings you into the story, and you become invested in the characters and their stories. You are angry with the antagonists, but you understand them too. You know where they went wrong, but you still care for them, just as you have done with people in your real life who have stumbled."
