Description
Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver Born to a teenage single mother in a single-wide trailer, Demon Copperhead is a boy with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. Relayed in his own unsparing voice, Demon braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities. This is a story of a young hero's unforgettable journey to maturity, evoking the harsh realities of life in the mountains of southern Appalachia. A powerful and haunting novel, Demon Copperhead is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a searing indictment of the social and economic systems that fail to protect the most vulnerable among us.
