Demon Copperhead (2022) follows a young boy through his tumultuous childhood and adolescence in contemporary Appalachia. Writer Barbara Kingsolver was inspired by David Copperfield, the classic 1850 novel by Charles Dickens, to explore similar themes of family, hardship, friendship, resilience, and the search for meaning and belonging. Young Demon Copperhead lives in a trailer with his mother, who struggles with substance abuse. He learns to navigate the challenges of foster care, child labor, addiction, toxic relationships, and grief, somehow managing to come of age against all odds.
