Demon Copperhead is a story of a boy born to a teen-age single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father’s good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. “In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses.” Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield was an inspiration to the author in writing this book. Kingsolver transposed his epic novel to her own place and time, including his faith in the transformative power of a good story.
