Description

In the heart of Appalachia, a young boy nicknamed Demon Copperhead navigates a world of poverty, addiction, and systemic neglect. From a childhood marked by foster care and loss, Demon's resilience and spirit shine through as he grapples with the harsh realities of his upbringing. This powerful novel offers a poignant and unflinching look at the opioid crisis and its devastating impact on rural communities, while simultaneously celebrating the enduring strength of the human heart. Barbara Kingsolver masterfully crafts a story that is both a heartbreaking testament to survival and a vibrant love letter to a misunderstood region.
