Speaking of Books: "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver
Join Julie at the Fairview Public Library for Speaking of Books, an adult book club suitable for ages 17 and up. Each month we discuss a different title. This month's selection:Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged 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. 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.~Goodreads
