Copperhead Demon

18+. This book contains themes that may be emotionally challenging: drug addiction, violence, psychological trauma, and social issues. The novel is intended for an adult audience.

Demon's story begins with his painful arrival into the world in a single mother's squalid trailer. Throughout his life, his pugnacious nature, seasoned with charm, quick wit, and hidden talents that manifest on both sides of the law, will serve him well. In the Appalachian foothills of southern Virginia, poverty and destructive addiction are not just abstract concepts. They are as common as the grass in the yard. For Demon, unlucky enough to be born into destitution, affection and safety are as distant as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The question is how far he will go to get there. Full of truth, anger, and compassion, "Demon Copperhead" has become an epic story of love, loss, and everything that separates them.
